research Mapping of monilethrix to the type II keratin gene cluster at chromosome 12q13 in three new families, including one with variable expressivity

21 citations , September 1997 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.

research The Human Type II Keratin Gene Cluster on Chromosome 12q13.13: Final Count or Hidden Secrets?

9 citations , February 2005 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

research Characterization of New Members of the Human Type II Keratin Gene Family and a General Evaluation of the Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 12q13.13

92 citations , February 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

research Sequence Data and Chromosomal Localization of Human Type I and Type II Hair Keratin Genes

52 citations , October 1995 in “Experimental Cell Research”

Human hair keratin genes hHa2 and hHb1 are located on chromosomes 17 and 12.

Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle

research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle

32 citations , February 1998 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.

in Treatment 96 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.

community Why Is No One Talking About Chromosome 20?

in Chat 32 upvotes 1 year ago

Some hair loss may be linked to chromosome 20, which isn't affected by DHT blockers like finasteride. Treatments like minoxidil, microneedling, and genetic testing are suggested, but their effectiveness for this type of hair loss is uncertain.
