research The possible implication of the S250C variant of the autoimmune regulator protein in a patient with autoimmunity and immunodeficiency: in silico analysis suggests a molecular pathogenic mechanism for the variant
The S250C variant in a gene may cause autoimmunity and immunodeficiency by impairing protein function.
research A disease-causing novel missense mutation in the ST14 gene underlies autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome in a consanguineous family
A new mutation in the ST14 gene causes a rare skin and hair disorder in a specific family.
research Cutaneous toxicities of new targeted cancer therapies: must know for diagnosis, management, and patient-proxy empowerment
New targeted cancer drugs can cause skin side effects, and managing them requires patient education and timely care.
