research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, a gene mutation causes a hair disorder that might be treated by managing cell stress, a potential therapy for a skin-ear disorder involves blocking cell channels, skin wrinkling may indicate lung aging regardless of smoking, and oxidative stress might contribute to common baldness.
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 Alopecia universalis and Kallman’s Syndrome
A woman with Kallman's syndrome also developed alopecia universalis, a condition not previously linked to Kallman's.
research Premature termination of hair follicle morphogenesis and accelerated hair follicle cycling in Iasi congenital atrichia (fzica) mice points to fuzzy as a key element of hair cycle control
The fuzzy gene is crucial for controlling hair growth cycles.

research Nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair
A 14-year-old girl's black hair showed unique color changes, suggesting early greying.
research Novel Hairless Mutations in Two Kindreds with Autosomal Recessive Papular Atrichia
New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.
