research Disease causing homozygous variants in the human hairless gene

7 citations , December 2015 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, researchers identified a novel and two previously reported pathogenic mutations in the HR gene associated with atrichia with papular lesions in five Pakistani families.

research MendelVar: gene prioritization at GWAS loci using phenotypic enrichment of Mendelian disease genes

2 citations , April 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This article discusses the MendelVar webserver, which integrates Mendelian disease data with GWAS findings to prioritize candidate genes for complex traits and reports no new experimental results.

A Disease-Causing Novel Missense Mutation in the ST14 Gene Underlies Autosomal Recessive Ichthyosis with Hypotrichosis Syndrome in a Consanguineous Family

research A disease-causing novel missense mutation in the ST14 gene underlies autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome in a consanguineous family

9 citations , March 2018 in “European journal of dermatology/EJD. European journal of dermatology”

This study in a Pakistani family identified a novel ST14 gene variant as the likely genetic cause of autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome.

research Investigation of Transcriptional Gene Profiling in Normal Murine Hair Follicular Substructures Using Next-Generation Sequencing to Provide Potential Insights into Skin Disease

1 citations , February 2016 in “Cell Transplantation”

In this study, researchers found that hair follicles and dermal fibroblasts, including dermal papilla cells, supported sustained hair growth in transplanted murine models, with RNA-seq analysis revealing active signaling pathways and gene expression patterns.

research Identifying critical cell types and gene regulatory pathways for hair and skin disease

July 2023 in “Nature Genetics”

community ‘Long term use of fin/dut may be associated with health risks including fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dry eye disease and potential kidney disease.’

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 2 years ago

Long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride may be linked to health risks like fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dry eye disease, and potential kidney disease. Some users believe the risks are low and the medications are generally safe.

community Autoimmune disease and balding

in Update 12 upvotes 2 years ago

A user diagnosed with Crohn's disease is concerned it might contribute to balding. They have been using keto shampoo, finasteride, and oral minoxidil, which improved their hair but not significantly.

community How far are we from gene editing stem cells and implanting them?

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 5 months ago

Gene editing for hair loss is not yet viable due to technological and economic challenges. Current treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants remain the most practical options.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

community How uninformed the general public is about hair loss

in Chat 319 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation highlights the general public's lack of knowledge about hair loss, with various ineffective remedies suggested, such as not wearing hats or using hair fibers. The only effective treatments mentioned for male pattern baldness are medications like minoxidil and finasteride, and hair transplants.
