The NUDT15 R139C variant causes thiopurine-induced leukocytopenia through a different mechanism than previously thought in Japanese patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
research PIK3CA gain-of-function mutation in Schwann cells leads to severe neuropathy and aerobic glycolysis through a non-cell autonomous effect
A PIK3CA mutation in Schwann cells causes severe nerve damage and increased glycolysis, but early treatment can help.
research Histogenesis of keratoacanthoma: histochemical and immunohistochemical study
Keratoacanthoma comes from hair follicle cells.

Identical p53 gene mutations in different cancers suggest the need for careful treatment.
research A mouse with bad hair and poor taste
A defective gene causes hair loss and taste insensitivity in BTBR mice.
research Hair Loss Caused by Gain-of-Function Mutant TRPV3 Is Associated with Premature Differentiation of Follicular Keratinocytes
A gene mutation causes early keratinocyte maturation leading to hair loss in Olmsted syndrome.
research The role of Twist1 in UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis
Deleting Twist1 in skin cells reduces UVB-induced skin cancer risk.
research A Case of Familial Male-limited Precocious Puberty with a Novel Mutation
A boy with a rare form of early puberty caused by a new gene mutation responded well to treatment aimed at reducing testosterone and preserving adult height.

research Transgenic mice overexpressing protein kinase C epsilon in their epidermis exhibit reduced papilloma burden but enhanced carcinoma formation after tumor promotion.
Overexpressing PKCepsilon in mice reduces papillomas but increases carcinomas.
research Targeted transgenic expression of the mutation causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome leads to proliferative and degenerative epidermal disease
The mutation causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome leads to severe skin problems and early death in mice.
research Polymorphism of Keratin Gene KRT71 and Its Relationship with Wool Properties in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep
The GG genotype of the KRT71 gene leads to longer wool in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep.
research Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis
