Mutations in specific genes disrupt development of sweat glands, teeth, hair, skin, and nails in HED.
research Global Landscapes of Human Phenotypic Variation in Inherited Traits
Different human traits like skin color and hair type vary between populations due to genetic adaptations to the environment.
research Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene is Associated with Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is linked to specific genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene.
research Analysis of familial factors using the basic and specific (BASP) classification in Korean patients with androgenetic alopecia
Familial factors affect hair loss types in Koreans, with M type in men, L type in women, and paternal factors influencing male hair loss more.
research Polymorphisms in the promoter regions of the CXCL1 and CXCL2 genes contribute to increased risk of alopecia areata in the Korean population
Certain gene variations increase the risk of alopecia areata in Koreans.
research Transduction‐induced overexpression of Merkel cell T antigens in human hair follicles induces formation of pathological cell clusters with Merkel cell carcinoma‐like phenotype
Overexpressing Merkel cell virus proteins in human hair follicles can create clusters of cells that resemble Merkel cell cancer.
research MITF E318K naevus phenotype: the modifying role of MC1R Red Hair Variants
research Utilising SNP Association Analysis as a Prospective Approach for Personalising Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment

research A frameshift mutation in HTRA1 expands CARASIL syndrome and peripheral small arterial disease to the Chinese population
A new genetic mutation linked to CARASIL syndrome and small artery disease was found in a Chinese family.
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.
research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11
Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.
research Molecular basis of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in two siblings
A specific gene mutation causes hair loss and potential eye issues, even if vision seems normal.
research Mutation detection of type II hair cortex keratin gene KRT86 in a Chinese Han family with congenital monilethrix
A specific gene mutation in KRT86 is linked to hair disorder in a Chinese Han family.
research Inherited Disorders of the Hair
The study concluded that genetic mutations affect human hair diseases and identified key genes and pathways involved in hair growth and cycling.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
