research Hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) owing to a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor
A girl had rickets due to a gene mutation affecting vitamin D response.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research TCF/Lef1 activity controls establishment of diverse stem and progenitor cell compartments in mouse epidermis
TCF/Lef1 activity is essential for proper skin cell development and renewal.
research Keratinization and its Disorders
Mutations in keratin genes can cause skin and mucosa disorders.
