This review highlights the role of the APCDD1 gene and associated pathways in hair follicle biology, offering new perspectives on genetic contributors to hair loss and suggesting potential avenues for developing targeted treatments and preventive strategies.
This study found that the rs3185480 polymorphism in the APCDD1 gene was associated with an elevated risk of developing androgenic alopecia and reduced protein levels, potentially due to altered codon usage affecting translation efficiency.
