930-960 / 1000+ results research Molecular Genetics of Human Hair Diseases
research A Recurrent Intragenic Deletion in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlies Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis
A gene deletion in DSG4 causes sparse hair in some Pakistani families.
research 223 Canonical and Dominant Negative Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ Isoforms are Differentially Expressed in Human Skin and Skin Appendages
Different types of PPARγ are found in varying amounts in human skin and its parts, which could affect how skin treatments work.
research Targeted Skin Overexpression of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Mice Causes Epidermal Atrophy, Premature Skin Barrier Formation, Eye Abnormalities, and Alopecia
Overexpressing the mineralocorticoid receptor in mouse skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier development, eye issues, and hair loss.
research Genetic analysis of the role of androgen metabolism in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer
Certain genetic markers can indicate a person's risk of developing prostate cancer.
research PRIDE syndrome with lumbosacral hypertrichosis
EGFR inhibitors can cause unusual localized hair growth.
research 549 Temporary cell cycle arrest in human scalp hair follicles and their epithelial stem cells by ALRN-6924: A novel strategy to selectively protect p53-wildtype cells against paclitaxel-induced alopecia
ALRN-6924 may prevent hair loss caused by chemotherapy.
research MendelVar: gene prioritization at GWAS loci using phenotypic enrichment of Mendelian disease genes
MendelVar is a tool that helps identify important genes by combining GWAS data with Mendelian disease information.
research Rare and common genetic determinants of metabolic individuality and their effects on human health
Genetic variations greatly affect individual metabolism and can impact health and disease risk.
research One Transgene: Two Outcomes
Modified β-catenin can cause different effects in mouse skin cells, leading to cysts or tumors depending on the cell type.
research Genetic architecture of mouse skin inflammation and tumour susceptibility
Lgr5 and the vitamin D receptor are key in controlling skin inflammation and tumor risk in mice.
research Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides with Skewed T-cell Receptor CDR3 Motif: Suggestive of Lipid-antigen Selection?
Lipid-antigen stimulation may play a role in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides.
research Widespread erythematous scaly eruption in an infant with phenylketonuria
Restoring phenylalanine levels improved skin and hair symptoms in a PKU infant.
research CYP21A2 Mutations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Mutations in the CYP21A2 gene are not a major factor in causing PCOS.
research The disrupted balance between hair follicles and sebaceous glands inHoxc13‐ablated rabbits
Rabbits lacking the Hoxc13 gene show similar hair and skin issues to humans with ECTD-9, making them good for research on this condition.
research An Australian family with macular dystrophy linked to autosomal recessive alopecia universalis
An Australian with rare hair loss and eye conditions had a gene linked to both, not seen together before.
research The first broad replication study of SNPs and a pilot genome‐wide association study for androgenetic alopecia in Asian populations
Two specific genetic markers increase the risk of hair loss in Asian populations.
research Overexpression of Hedgehog Signaling Is Associated with Epidermal Tumor Formation in Vitamin D Receptor–Null Mice
Lack of vitamin D receptor increases skin tumor risk by boosting hedgehog signaling.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research No evidence for THAP1/DYT6 variants as disease modifiers in DYT1 dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.
research Coactivator MED1 Ablation in Keratinocytes Results in Hair-Cycling Defects and Epidermal Alterations
Deleting MED1 in skin cells causes hair loss and skin changes.
research Correlation Analysis of BLTP1 (KIAA1109) and KIF27 Gene Polymorphisms with Wool Traits in Subo Merino Sheep
BLTP1 and KIF27 gene mutations can help breed better wool sheep.
research PBX1 Attenuates Hair Follicle-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Senescence and Apoptosis by Alleviating Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated DNA Damage Instead of Enhancing DNA Damage Repair
PBX1 helps reduce aging and cell death in hair follicle stem cells by decreasing DNA damage, not by improving DNA repair.
research Polymorphisms of the genes ABCG2, SLC22A12 and XDH and their relation with hyperuricemia and hypercholesterolemia in Mexican young adults
The ABCG2 gene variant increases the risk of high uric acid and cholesterol, especially in overweight or obese young Mexican males.
