research Interactions of the Vitamin D Receptor with the Corepressor Hairless
Most Hairless gene mutations reduce its ability to work with the Vitamin D Receptor, which might explain a certain type of hair loss.
research A Unique Insertion/Duplication in the VDR Gene That Truncates the VDR Causing Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia
A unique gene mutation causes vitamin D-resistant rickets without causing hair loss.
research Ligand-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor Maintain Hair Follicle Homeostasis
research Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Resistant Rickets Due to a Mutation Causing Multiple Defects in Vitamin D Receptor Function
A specific gene mutation causes vitamin D resistance, but certain vitamin D analogs might help.
research Physical And Functional Interaction Between The Vitamin D Receptor And Hairless Corepressor, Two Proteins Required For Hair Cycling
Vitamin D receptor and hairless protein are essential for hair growth.
research Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-Resistant Rickets
HVDRR is caused by VDR gene mutations, leading to vitamin D resistance, treatable with high calcium doses, but alopecia remains permanent.
