research Novel De Novo Pathogenic Variant in the ODC1 Gene in a Girl with Developmental Delay, Alopecia, and Dysmorphic Features
The study reported a novel de novo pathogenic variant in the ODC1 gene in a 32-month-old Caucasian girl, marking the first human case with symptoms similar to those observed in a transgenic ODC1 mouse model. The identified heterozygous nonsense mutation in the ODC1 gene resulted in a premature termination of 14 amino acid residues at the protein's c-terminus. The patient exhibited phenotypic features such as developmental delay, alopecia, macrosomia, macrocephaly, spasticity, hypotonia, cutaneous vascular malformation, delayed visual maturation, and sensorineural hearing loss. Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing confirmed the mutation (c.1342 A>T), and elevated ODC protein and polyamine levels were found in the patient's red blood cells. The study suggested that the patient might benefit from treatment with α-difluoromethylornithine, an FDA-approved drug.

5 / 29 resultscommunity What would be an ideal diet for promoting health for what's left/regrowth?
The conversation discusses an ideal diet for promoting hair health, emphasizing biotin, collagen, vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium, anti-inflammatory foods, and blood circulation. It also mentions using finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling for hair regrowth.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community This guy loses all transplanted hair?!
A man lost his transplanted hair despite using minoxidil because he wasn't on a DHT blocker like finasteride, which is essential to prevent further hair loss. The conversation emphasizes that hair transplants are not a cure and require maintenance with medications to preserve results.
community How uninformed the general public is about hair loss
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.
