research Alopecia Universalis Associated with a Mutation in the Human hairless Gene

412 citations , January 1998 in “Science”

This study identified a missense mutation in the human hairless gene associated with a rare form of recessively inherited alopecia universalis, pinpointed on chromosome 8p12.

research Molecular and functional aspects of the hairless (hr) gene in laboratory rodents and humans

126 citations , October 1998 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review provides an overview of the hairless gene in mice and humans, discussing its structure, expression, and implications for understanding skin physiology and human disorders related to gene disruption, but it reports no new empirical findings.

research Atrichia with papular lesions

8 citations , January 2011 in “International journal of trichology”

This report discusses the accurate diagnosis of atrichia with papular lesions, emphasizing its distinction from alopecia universalis to prevent unnecessary steroid treatment, and presents a case matching APL diagnostic criteria.

research Congenital atrichia with papular lesions

4 citations , January 2020 in “Dermatology Online Journal”

In this report, a 1-year-old boy with congenital atrichia with papular lesions was found to have a complete absence of scalp and body hair and keratin-filled cysts due to a mutation in the hairless gene.

research An Australian family with macular dystrophy linked to autosomal recessive alopecia universalis

3 citations , February 2001 in “British journal of ophthalmology”

This case report presents a 28-year-old woman with alopecia universalis and macular dystrophy, highlighting a potential new linkage between these conditions without previously identified associated genes.

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.
