Research
960-990 / 1000+ results research Hereditary Mucoepithelial Dysplasia and Autosomal-Dominant IFAP Syndrome Is a Clinical Spectrum Due to SREBF1 Variants
A mutation in the SREBF1 gene causes both hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia and IFAP syndrome, which are related conditions.
research Incidence of trichostasis spinulosa at a single institution in Yemen
Trichostasis spinulosa is common but often underdiagnosed, mainly affecting women's faces.
research Molecular genetics of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research Mutational spectrum in 101 patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and breakpoint mapping in independent cases of rare genomic rearrangements
Researchers found genetic mutations causing hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in 88% of studied patients and identified new mutations and genetic variations affecting the disease.
research Genome-based analysis of the genetic pattern of black sheep in Qira sheep
Black wool in Qira sheep is linked to specific gene mutations, especially in the TYRP1 gene.
research Susceptibility variants for male-pattern baldness on chromosome 20p11
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.
research Increased Susceptibility to Skin Carcinogenesis Associated with a Spontaneous Mouse Mutation in the Palmitoyl Transferase Zdhhc13 Gene
A mouse gene mutation increases the risk of skin cancer.
research 199 Impairment of notch 1 signaling is a common defect in lesions from patients with hidradenitis suppurativa
Notch1 signaling is impaired in hidradenitis suppurativa, affecting skin and hair cells.
research Trapa bispinosa Roxb. Pericarp Extract Exerts 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity in Castrated Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Model Mice
Trapa bispinosa Roxb. extract may help reduce prostate size and cell growth in BPH.
research Repigmentation of leukoderma in a piebald patient associated with a novel c-KIT gene mutation, G592E, of the tyrosine kinase domain
A new gene mutation may allow some piebaldism patients to regain skin color in white patches.
research Expression of the human Cathepsin L inhibitor hurpin in mice: skin alterations and increased carcinogenesis
Overexpression of hurpin in mice leads to abnormal skin and higher skin cancer risk.
research Transient stimulation of TRPV4‐expressing keratinocytes promotes hair follicle regeneration in mice
Activating TRPV4 in skin cells helps regrow hair in mice, possibly offering a treatment for hair loss.
research Postzygotic Mutations in Beta-Actin Are Associated with Becker’s Nevus and Becker’s Nevus Syndrome
Mutations in the ACTB gene cause Becker’s nevi and may lead to muscle issues in Becker’s nevus syndrome.
research Expression level of leucine-rich repeat containing 15 regulates characteristics of dermal papilla cells of human hair follicle
The gene LRRC15 is more active in balding areas of the scalp compared to non-balding areas.
research Overexpression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase under the control of mouse metallothionein I promoter in transgenic mice: evidence for a striking post-transcriptional regulation of transgene expression by a polyamine analogue
Overexpressing SSAT in mice makes them highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, causing liver damage and high mortality.
research Identification and characterization of genes for skin and hair disorders
New gene variants were found for rare skin and hair disorders, improving understanding and treatment.
research Identification of Ovine KRTAP28-1 and Its Association with Wool Fibre Diameter
KRTAP28-1 gene can help breed sheep with finer wool.
research Characterisation of an Ovine Keratin Associated Protein (KAP) Gene, Which Would Produce a Protein Rich in Glycine and Tyrosine, but Lacking in Cysteine
A new sheep gene, KRTAP36-1, may help breed sheep with better wool by reducing prickle factor.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Mutants Demonstrate Increased Motility Inside the Nucleus of Living Cells: Time of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) Is an Integrated Measure of Receptor Function
Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.
research CDH3 Mutation in Saudi Arabia: A Case of Hypotrichosis With Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
A genetic mutation in the CDH3 gene causes hair loss and vision problems in a young Saudi girl.
research PINK1 deficiency rewires early immune responses in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease triggered by intestinal infection
PINK1 is important for controlling gut immune responses linked to early Parkinson's disease.
research Selected variants of the melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R) do not confer susceptibility to female pattern hair loss
MC4R gene variants not linked to female hair loss.
research 6874 A Rare Case Of Hereditary 1,25 (OH)2D Resistant Rickets
A rare genetic mutation causes resistance to vitamin D, leading to severe rickets and requiring high doses of calcium and vitamin D for treatment.
research A missense mutation in Lama3 causes androgen alopecia
A gene mutation in Lama3 is linked to a common type of hair loss.
research Autosomal dominant monilethrix with incomplete penetrance due to a novel KRT86 mutation in a Chinese family
research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPHmutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
