Mirror-image twins can have alopecia areata on opposite sides of their heads.
research Human FOXN1-Deficiency Is Associated with αβ Double-Negative and FoxP3+ T-Cell Expansions That Are Distinctly Modulated upon Thymic Transplantation
Thymic transplantation normalized some T-cells but not others, maintaining immune function.
research A Case of Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Caused by a Novel Heterozygous Nonsense Mutation in the TRPS1 Gene
A new genetic mutation in the TRPS1 gene causes Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome, leading to specific hair, dental, and bone issues.
research Molecular Basis for Hair Loss in Mice Carrying a Novel Nonsense Mutation (Hrrh-R) in the Hairless Gene (Hr)
A new mutation in the hairless gene causes hair loss and skin wrinkling in mice.
research No evidence for THAP1/DYT6 variants as disease modifiers in DYT1 dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research Prediction of male-pattern baldness from genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.
research Lanceolate hair-J (lahJ): a mouse model for human hair disorders [In Process Citation]
The lanceolate hair-J mutation in mice helps understand human hair disorders like Netherton's syndrome.
research Mammalian-specific ectodermal enhancers control the expression of Hoxc genes in developing nails and hair follicles
HoxC genes are crucial for normal hair and nail development.
research Identification of two additional novel mutations in the AR gene associated with severe forms of androgen insensitivity syndrome
Two new mutations in the AR gene linked to severe androgen insensitivity were found.
research L-Ornithine ketoacid-transaminase assay in hair roots of homozygotes and heterozygotes for gyrate atrophy
research Androgenetic alopecia: Identification of four genetic risk loci and evidence for the contribution of WNT signaling to its etiology
Four genetic risk areas related to male-pattern baldness were identified, with WNT signaling playing a role in its development.
research Genetic variants in AR and SHBG and resistance to hormonal castration in prostate cancer
Certain genetic variants increase the risk of resistance to hormone therapy in prostate cancer patients.
research Analyzing the role of ACE2, AR, MX1 and TMPRSS2 genetic markers for COVID-19 severity
MX1 and AR genes are linked to milder COVID-19, while TMPRSS2 increases severe risk, especially in women.
research Baldness and the androgen receptor: the AR polyglycine repeat polymorphism does not confer susceptibility to androgenetic alopecia
AR polyglycine repeat doesn't cause baldness.
research The β9 Loop Domain of PA-PLA1α Has a Crucial Role in Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A specific mutation in PA-PLA1α causes abnormal hair growth.
research Pharmacological BACE1 and BACE2 inhibition induces hair depigmentation by inhibiting PMEL17 processing in mice
Blocking BACE1 and BACE2 enzymes causes hair color loss in mice.
research Vitiligo and alopecia areata: apples and oranges?
Vitiligo and alopecia areata may have similar causes despite their differences.
research A homozygous missense mutation in the fibroblast growth factor 5 gene is associated with the long-hair trait in Angora rabbits
A specific gene mutation causes long hair in Angora rabbits.
research Androgen Receptor Polymorphism-Dependent Variation in Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentrations of European Men
Certain genetic variants in the androgen receptor are linked to higher PSA levels, potentially affecting prostate cancer screening outcomes.
research Sequence analyses of Type I and Type II chains in human hair and epithelial keratin intermediate filaments: Promiscuous obligate heterodimers, Type II template for molecule formation and a rationale for heterodimer formation
Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Six novel susceptibility Loci for early-onset androgenetic alopecia and their unexpected association with common diseases.
