A person with Werner syndrome was initially thought to just have female pattern hair loss.
research Office Diagnosis of Hair Shaft Defects
The document explains how to identify different hair problems using a microscope.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Lentiginosis within plaques of linear atrophoderma of Moulin: a twin-spotting phenomenon?
The document suggests a rare skin condition might be caused by a genetic phenomenon.
research Genetic Variants at 20p11 Confer Risk to Androgenetic Alopecia in the Chinese Han Population
Genetic variants at 20p11 increase baldness risk in Chinese Han people.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Six novel susceptibility Loci for early-onset androgenetic alopecia and their unexpected association with common diseases.
Six new genes linked to early hair loss were found, which also surprisingly connect to Parkinson's disease and lower fertility.
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 Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, certain gene mutations cause skin diseases and could be treated by targeting those mutations, skin wrinkling may relate to lung aging due to genetic factors, and oxidative stress affects hair loss but can be reduced in low oxygen.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Six novel susceptibility Loci for early-onset androgenetic alopecia and their unexpected association with common diseases.
Six new risk spots for early hair loss were found, which also link to Parkinson's disease and lower fertility. Two genes, FOXA2 and HDAC4, could be new treatment targets. Hair loss might also be connected to heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and prostate cancer.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: a subtype of lichen planopilaris in African descent?
CCCA and LPP may be related hair loss conditions influenced by genetics and environment, needing early treatment.
research Atypical Progeroid Syndrome due to Heterozygous Missense LMNA Mutations
The research found that Atypical Progeroid Syndrome has unique symptoms and is not caused by the buildup of a certain mutant protein.
research Lichen planopilaris
Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.
research The Effect of Hairless Mutant Gene on The Thymus and Skin Under The C_(57)BL/6 Genetic Background
The hairless mutant gene causes early hair loss and affects skin and thymus development in mice.
research Epidermal expression of the truncated prelamin A causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: effects on keratinocytes, hair and skin
Progerin affects cell shape but not hair or skin in mice.
research Abnormal inner root sheath of the hair follicle in the loose anagen hair syndrome: An ultrastructural study
Loose anagen hair syndrome is caused by structural abnormalities in the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Investigation of four novel male androgenetic alopecia susceptibility loci: no association with female pattern hair loss.
The research found that certain genes are linked to male pattern baldness, but these same genes do not affect female pattern hair loss.
research Epidermal field carcinogenesis in bald-headed: An attempt at finetuning early non-invasive detection
Bald-headed individuals may need early non-invasive detection for skin changes linked to cancer risk.
research 14-3-3σ Is Required for Club Hair Retention
The 14-3-3σ gene is essential for preventing hair loss.
research Skin-specific expression of a truncated E1a oncoprotein binding to p105-Rb leads to abnormal hair follicle maturation without increased epidermal proliferation.
The oncoprotein causes abnormal hair growth without increasing skin cancer risk.
research Characterization of Human Keratin-Associated Protein 1 Family Members
Mutations in hKAP1 genes may cause hereditary hair disorders.
research Increased Susceptibility to Skin Carcinogenesis Associated with a Spontaneous Mouse Mutation in the Palmitoyl Transferase Zdhhc13 Gene
A mouse gene mutation increases the risk of skin cancer.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.

Two gene variations, rs6493497 and rs7176005, may be linked to female hair loss in Chinese people.
research Laminin-511, inducer of hair growth, is down-regulated and its suppressor in hair growth, laminin-332 up-regulated in chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss is partly due to decreased laminin-511 and increased laminin-332.
research Whiskers amiss, a new vibrissae and hair mutation near the Krt1 cluster on mouse Chromosome 11
A new mutation in mice causes crooked whiskers and messy hair.
