research Autosomal recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia linked to chromosome 12p11.1-q14.3 without KRTHB5 gene mutation
The condition is linked to chromosome 12, but no mutations were found in the known genes.
research BJD Snippet
Researchers found certain genes are overactive and others are underactive in men with early balding, which could help create new treatments.
research Regulation of Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism by Tumor Suppressor FLCN
The tumor suppressor gene FLCN affects mitochondrial function and energy use in cells.
research Evidence for Genetic Heterogeneity in Monilethrix
research Identification and single-cell analysis of prognostic genes related to mitochondrial and neutrophil extracellular traps in bladder cancer
Six key genes can predict bladder cancer outcomes and may serve as prognostic biomarkers.
research DMBA/TPA Treatment Is Necessary for BCC Formation from Patched Deficient Epidermal Cells in Ptch flox/flox CD4Cre +/− Mice
Genetic mutation and carcinogen treatment are both needed for skin cancer to develop in these specific mice.
research Mechanisms of skin vascular maturation and maintenance captured by longitudinal imaging of live mice
research Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-Resistant Rickets
HVDRR is caused by VDR gene mutations, leading to vitamin D resistance, treatable with high calcium doses, but alopecia remains permanent.
research The Molecular Biology of the Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor can affect gene activity even without its usual hormone in hair and skin.
research The development of several organs and appendages is impaired in mice lacking Sp6
Mice without the Sp6 gene have problems developing several body parts, including hair, teeth, limbs, and lungs.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is a target for chemoprevention of basal and squamous cell carcinomas in Ptch1+/– mice
Inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase may help prevent certain skin cancers.
research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease Modifying Alleles
A new mutation in the STING protein causes a range of symptoms and its severity may be affected by other genetic variations; treatment with a specific inhibitor showed improvement in one patient.
research Hair shaft miRNA ‐221 levels as a new tumor marker of malignant melanoma
Hair shaft miR-221 levels can help detect malignant melanoma.

Blocking mTORC1 reduces skin tumor growth in mice.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research Pachyonychia congenita: Sporadic onset with mutation analysis
A boy with Pachyonychia congenita has a confirmed gene mutation, highlighting the need for a local genetic database in India.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
research VEGF induces proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells through VEGFR-2-mediated activation of ERK
VEGF promotes hair follicle cell growth through the VEGFR-2/ERK pathway.
research Clinical Snippets
A bull with a gene mutation was asymptomatic, synthetic retinoids cause hair loss, and new therapeutic targets were identified for skin diseases.
research Polymorphisms in the Human High Sulfur Hair Keratin-associated Protein 1, KAP1, Gene Family
Genetic variations in hair keratin proteins exist but don't significantly affect hair structure.
