60-90 / 1000+ results research Molecular basis of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause androgen insensitivity, leading to female traits in genetically male individuals.
research Anti-Müllerian hormone gene polymorphism is associated with androgen levels in Chinese polycystic ovary syndrome patients with insulin resistance
Certain gene variations are linked to higher male hormone levels in Chinese women with PCOS and insulin resistance.
research Polycystic Ovarian Morphology is Associated with Hyperandrogenemia and Insulin Resistance in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Women with PCOS and polycystic ovaries have higher male hormone levels and more insulin resistance, especially if they are overweight.
research A rational approach to the diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome during adolescence
Diagnosing PCOS in teenagers should focus on signs of excess male hormones and not rely solely on ovarian ultrasound or irregular periods, and should be reassessed in adulthood.
research Criteria for Defining Polycystic Ovary Syndrome as a Predominantly Hyperandrogenic Syndrome: An Androgen Excess Society Guideline
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome should be seen mainly as a condition of excess male hormones, with a focus on this in its definition.
research Evolution and genetic architecture of sex-limited polymorphism in cuckoos
Female cuckoo color differences are linked to their unique genes and help avoid male harassment.
research An adolescent girl presenting with primary amenorrhea: A case report of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome
A 15-year-old girl with no menstrual period was diagnosed with a genetic condition that makes her body unable to respond to male hormones, leading to female characteristics despite having male genetic makeup.
research Evaluation of androgen receptor gene as a candidate gene in female androgenetic alopecia
AR gene not major factor in female hair loss; different from male hair loss.
research Genetic regulation of the androgen receptor—A study of testicular feminization in the mouse
The study concludes that a genetic mutation in TFM mice leads to reduced androgen receptor activity, affecting the body's response to male hormones.
research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research Assessment of diagnostic competence of plasmatic androgens on polycystic ovary syndrome based on receiver operator characteristic curves
Free Testosterone Index, bioavailable testosterone, and androstenedione are the most accurate for diagnosing excess male hormones in PCOS.
research Research Snippets
New hair regrowth model proposed, imiquimod found to kill skin cancer cells, T-cadherin loss linked to invasive skin cancer, no clear gene link to skin cancer after transplant, and study on children's hair loss shows male dominance and genetic ties.
research Testosterone enantate
A man developed hair loss from testosterone treatment but improved with additional medication.
research Genetic correlation by pedigree analysis in patients diagnosed with PCOS as per Rotterdam’s criteria
PCOS is likely inherited in families, increasing risk for first-degree relatives.
research The possible implication of the S250C variant of the autoimmune regulator protein in a patient with autoimmunity and immunodeficiency: in silico analysis suggests a molecular pathogenic mechanism for the variant
The S250C variant in a gene may cause autoimmunity and immunodeficiency by impairing protein function.
research Solitary fixed drug eruption caused by finasteride
Finasteride can cause a unique skin reaction on the penile shaft.
research A Case of IFAP Syndrome with Severe Atopic Dermatitis
A baby was diagnosed with IFAP syndrome due to a new genetic mutation, showing severe skin and developmental issues.
research The IVIG treatment response in autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes type 2 with anti-GAD65 antibody-associated stiff person syndrome: a case report and literature review
IVIG therapy significantly improved symptoms in a patient with APS-2 and SPS.
research Collodion baby to bathing suit ichthyosis: A 6-year follow-up
A baby with a skin condition improved with treatment but developed a rare form of the condition affecting only his trunk.
research Occurrence of Klinefelter Syndrome Mosaic 45,X/46,XY/47,XXY/48,XXYY/48,XXXY and Primary Hyperparathyroidism
A man with both Klinefelter syndrome and primary hyperparathyroidism showed a rare combination of symptoms and genetic patterns.
research Hypotrichosis in a child with olmsted syndrome
A child with Olmsted syndrome showed mild improvement in hair and skin issues with treatment.
research [Neurosteroidogenesis and exploratory responses in rodents].
Certain substances can decrease or increase exploratory behavior in rodents.
research Early onset and novel features in a spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patient with a 68 CAG repeat
A patient with a larger than usual genetic mutation had a broader range of symptoms for a muscle disease.
research [Proteomics-based screening of differentially expressed proteins in skin of Chinese merino fine sheep (JunKen type) of different gender].
Gender affects wool traits in sheep, with males and females showing differences in skin proteins related to wool growth.
research A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study to assess the efficacy of a 24-week topical treatment by latanoprost 0.1% on hair growth and pigmentation in healthy volunteers with androgenetic alopecia
Latanoprost 0.1% may effectively treat hair loss.
research Trichoscopy of aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp in skin of color
Trichoscopy is effective for diagnosing scalp ACC in darker skin tones.
research Photosensitive Trichothiodystrophy with Complex Cerebral Abnormalities
Trichothiodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder causing hair issues and sometimes linked to DNA repair defects.
research Rates of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms in relatives of patients with PCOS
