A specific mutation known for causing cancer is also found to cause a skin condition in a young girl.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
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.
research Disruption of the temporally regulated cloaca endodermal β-catenin signaling causes anorectal malformations
Disrupting β-catenin signaling in certain cells causes anorectal malformations.
research Metabolic and pathologic profiles of human LSS deficiency recapitulated in mice
