Deleting part of a gene in mice causes wavy hair and high pup loss.
research HR Gene Variants Identified in Mexican Patients with Alopecia Areata
A specific gene variant may increase the risk of developing Alopecia Areata.
research Loose anagen hair syndrome in two patients with epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type
Two patients with the same genetic mutation had both blistering skin and easily pulled out hair.
research A missense mutation in Lama3 causes androgen alopecia
A gene mutation in Lama3 is linked to a common type of hair loss.
research Targeted expression of activated erbB-2 to the epidermis of transgenic mice elicits striking developmental abnormalities in the epidermis and hair follicles.
