research A New Mutation Resulting in the Truncation of the TRAF6-Interacting Domain of XEDAR: A Possible Novel Cause of Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia

17 citations , August 2012 in “Journal of Medical Genetics”

This article reviews the genetic mutations associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the roles of EDA gene isoforms and related receptors.

research Investigation of the Male Pattern Baldness Major Genetic Susceptibility Loci AR/EDA2R and 20p11 in Female Pattern Hair Loss

38 citations , February 2012 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study suggests that the AR/EDA2R locus may contribute to early-onset female pattern hair loss, but no association was found with the 20p11 locus.
