A new syndrome, Teelwani Syndrome, combines features of two rare genetic disorders.
research Hair Follicle-Related MicroRNA-34a Serum Expression and rs2666433A/G Variant in Patients with Alopecia: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

research Novel Mutation in the Hemojuvelin Gene (HJV) in a Patient with Juvenile Hemochromatosis Presenting with Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Secondary Hypothyroidism and Hypogonadism
A new mutation in the HJV gene was found in a young woman with juvenile hemochromatosis, causing unusual symptoms like secondary hypothyroidism.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research Association between PITX2 polymorphism and androgenetic alopecia in the Indian population
Certain gene variations in PITX2 are linked to a higher risk of male pattern baldness in Indians.
research Genetic variations associated with response to dutasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia
Genetic variations affect dutasteride treatment response for male pattern hair loss.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
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 In response to the letter to the editor by Soha Ghanian et al. re our publication “Shorter androgen receptor polyQ alleles protect against life-threatening COVID-19 disease in European males”
The authors maintain that shorter androgen receptor alleles may lead to milder COVID-19 by positively affecting the immune response, not due to changes in testosterone levels or activity.
research Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy: a case report with molecular study
A new genetic mutation was found causing hair and eye issues in a boy.
research Zinc deficiency or genetic mutations?—A case report of hair heterochromia in the context of MC1R genetic mutations
A boy's hair turned red because of genetic mutations, not lack of zinc.
research A novel EDA variant that causes X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a Chinese family
A new EDA gene variant causes X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a Chinese family.

Certain gene variations may increase the risk of hair loss in Egyptians.
research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice
Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.
research Isolation and characterization of a sheep cysteine-rich cuticle keratin pseudogene
Researchers found a non-functional sheep keratin gene due to mutations.
