MCPIP1 in myeloid cells is important for skin cancer development and healthy hair growth.
research A mutation in the hair matrix and cuticle keratin KRTHB5 gene causes ectodermal dysplasia of hair and nail type
A mutation in the KRTHB5 gene causes hair and nail issues.
research Clinical Case Notes. Tamoxifen optic neuropathy
A boy with chromosome 13q deletion syndrome developed eye cancer, a woman with breast cancer lost vision due to a rare side-effect of her treatment, a man's vision worsened after using a hair loss drug, and two rare disorders were discussed.

research Familial 1q22 microduplication associated with psychiatric disorders, intellectual disability and late-onset autoimmune inflammatory response
A specific genetic change is linked to mental disorders, intellectual disability, and possibly autoimmune disease in a family.
research Matrix-Degrading Type II Transmembrane Serine Protease Matriptase: Its Role in Cancer Development and Malignancy
Matriptase imbalance contributes to cancer development and spread.
research Removing all obstacles: A critical role for p53 in promoting tissue renewal
The gene p53 is crucial for removing damaged cells to allow for healthy tissue renewal.
research Author response: Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b does not affect epidermal homeostasis but promotes squamous transformation through PPAR-γ
Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b leads to more aggressive skin tumors, but blocking PPAR-γ can reduce this effect.
research Regulation of Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism by Tumor Suppressor FLCN
The tumor suppressor gene FLCN affects mitochondrial function and energy use in cells.
research One Transgene: Two Outcomes
Modified β-catenin causes different effects in hair and skin cells, leading to cysts or tumors.
research Reply to: The ends of a conundrum?
K10 may not prevent tumors as previously thought and might increase benign tumor risk.
research Hair Shaft Dysplasias
Hair shaft dysplasias are abnormal hair conditions that can be inherited or acquired and may signal other health issues, with limited treatment options available.
research Defolliculated (Dfl): A Dominant Mouse Mutation Leading to Poor Sebaceous Gland Differentiation and Total Elimination of Pelage Follicles
The Dfl mutation in mice causes poor sebaceous gland function and complete hair loss.
