research Profile of alopecia areata in 655 Chinese patients
Most patients with alopecia areata in China have patchy hair loss, with total hair loss being less common, and the condition often starts around age 35 and can negatively affect quality of life, especially in more severe cases.
research Obesity and the skin
Obesity is linked to various skin problems and may increase the risk of skin cancer.
research The RAIG Family Member, GPRC5D, Is Associated with Hard-Keratinized Structures
GPRC5D is linked to the formation of hair, nails, and certain tongue areas.
research Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene is Associated with Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is linked to specific genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene.
research Decreased Serum Ferritin is Associated With Alopecia in Women
Low iron levels may be linked to some types of hair loss in women.
research Clinical, ultrasound and hormonal markers of androgenicity in acne vulgaris
Acne severity is linked to higher levels of certain androgenic hormones, even when those levels are within the normal range.
research Decreased lymphocyte reactivity and auto-immunity in alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is linked to reduced T cell function and auto-immunity.
research Serological screening for coeliac disease in vitiligo and alopecia areata
Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.
research Investigation of the male pattern baldness major genetic susceptibility loci AR/EDA2R and 20p11 in female pattern hair loss
AR/EDA2R gene linked to early-onset female hair loss, but 20p11 gene not involved.
research Gender-specific association of androgenetic alopecia with metabolic syndrome in a middle-aged Korean population
Female hair loss linked to metabolic syndrome, not in males.
research Genetic association of HLA‐DQB1 and HLA‐DRB1 polymorphisms with alopecia areata in the Italian population
The DQB1*03 allele is linked to higher alopecia areata risk in Italians.
research Serum Androgens and Genetic Linkage Analysis in Early Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Early onset hair loss linked to genetics and androgen levels.
research Fine mapping of the human AR/EDA2R locus in androgenetic alopecia
Genetic marker rs12558842 strongly linked to male hair loss.
research Association analysis of oestrogen receptor beta gene ( ESR2 ) polymorphisms with female pattern hair loss
ESR2 gene variations may be linked to female pattern hair loss.
research Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes During a Wool Follicle Growth Cycle Induced by Prolactin
Certain genes are linked to wool follicle structure and function, but not hair cycle regulation.
research Pityriasis amiantacea: a clinical and histopathological investigation
Pityriasis amiantacea is likely linked to eczema-related skin changes.
research The hairless gene in androgenetic alopecia: results of a systematic mutation screening and a family-based association approach
Hairless gene not strongly linked to baldness.
research The hair eclipse phenomenon: sharpening the focus on the hair cycle chronobiology
Hair growth and shedding are linked and can be disrupted, causing a delay known as the hair eclipse phenomenon, which is common in certain hair conditions and could lead to new treatments.
research Novel adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette, subfamily A, member 12 (ABCA12) mutations associated with congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma
New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.
research Brain-derived nerve factor and neurotrophins in androgenetic alopecia
Lower growth factors linked to balding in androgenetic alopecia.
research Decreased Serum Ferritin and Alopecia in Women
Low serum ferritin levels are linked to hair loss in women.
research Sterile suppurative folliculitis associated with acute myeloblastic leukaemia
A rare skin condition linked to leukemia improved with chemotherapy.
research SUMMARIES OF PAPERS
Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.
research Research Snippets
New gene mutations linked to skin conditions were found, bacteria and chemicals may worsen acne, a dog mutation could exist in humans, virus-like elements might be involved in psoriasis, and a vitamin D3 treatment doesn't prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss.
research Clinical Snippets
Razor bumps are linked to a genetic variant, misoprostol helps erythromelalgia pain, steroid ointments don't affect skin rhythms, and certain antibodies are common in localized scleroderma.
research Immunohistochemical localization of types 1 and 2 5α-reductase in human scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
research Risk of meningioma among users of high doses of cyproterone acetate as compared with the general population: evidence from a population-based cohort study
High doses of cyproterone acetate are linked to an increased risk of developing meningioma.
research There is no clear association between low serum ferritin and chronic diffuse telogen hair loss
Low iron levels are not directly linked to chronic hair loss and iron supplements may not help.
research The human type I keratin gene family: Characterization of new hair follicle specific members and evaluation of the chromosome 17q21.2 gene domain
The study identified and characterized new keratin genes linked to hair follicles and epithelial tissues.
