FOXN1 gene variants cause low T cells and immune issues from birth.
research Human ClinicalPhenotype Associated with FOXN1 Mutations
FOXN1 mutations cause severe immunodeficiency, hair loss, nail issues, and thymus defects.
research Transcriptional regulation of the thymus master regulator Foxn1
Foxn1 gene regulation is crucial for thymus development but not for hair growth.
research P63 targeted deletion under the FOXN1 promoter disrupts pre-and post-natal thymus development, function and maintenance as well as induces severe hair loss
Deleting the p63 gene in certain cells causes problems in thymus development and severe hair loss in mice.
research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium
Innate lymphoid cells help control skin bacteria by regulating sebaceous glands.
