Certain genetic differences may affect how likely someone is to get COVID-19 and how severe it might be.

MendelVar is a tool that helps identify important genes by combining GWAS data with Mendelian disease information.

New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.

Researchers found that most genes affecting drug responses are not fully covered by commercial SNP chips, suggesting the need for more comprehensive tools to optimize drug selection based on genetics.

Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.

No link found between specific genes and female pattern hair loss.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.

The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are crucial for preventing serious health issues and improving patient outcomes.

Genetic defects in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can cause conditions with abnormal sensitivity to stress hormones, and other factors may also affect this sensitivity.

The over-the-counter supplement DHEA could make COVID-19 worse, especially in diabetics and people with G6PD deficiency.

New genes linked to male pattern baldness were found on chromosome 20p11.

Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.

Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.

Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.

New liposome treatment successfully delivers CRISPR to deactivate a key enzyme in androgen-related disorders.

Men with androgenetic alopecia and hypertension may experience more severe COVID-19.

Genetic variations greatly affect individual metabolism and can impact health and disease risk.

Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with estrogen possibly reducing risk and testosterone potentially increasing it.

Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.

Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.

A certain gene variation is linked to a higher risk of polycystic ovarian syndrome in South Indian women.

Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.

Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.

Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.

A herbal extract may help treat certain types of hair loss by reducing a specific gene's activity.

Two gene variations, rs6493497 and rs7176005, may be linked to female hair loss in Chinese people.

Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.
