5 citations
,
July 1996 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” This study explains that while trichothiodystrophy and xeroderma pigmentosum share genetic defects, TTD patients primarily exhibit issues in transcription initiation, not the increased skin cancer risk seen in XP.
May 2022 in “Experimental dermatology” In this study, hair shafts from trichothiodystrophy patients with ERCC2 mutations revealed abnormal cuticle structures and protein imbalances compared to normal hair shafts.
11 citations
,
January 1989 This case report describes two patients with trichothiodystrophy who exhibited a different pattern of hair protein composition changes, suggesting a subgroup of TTD characterized by partial loss of high-sulfur proteins without significant alteration in their amino acid composition.
21 citations
,
May 2014 in “Toxicological Sciences” This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.
53 citations
,
March 2006 in “Biopolymers” This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.
71 citations
,
May 2006 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, researchers found that trichothiodystrophy hair brittleness is linked to abnormalities in sulfur content and structural organization, making it prone to breakage.
1 citations
,
January 2021 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
12 citations
,
January 1987 in “Carcinogenesis” This study found that a single application of TCDD on the skin of hairless mice altered epidermal differentiation, changing keratin expression patterns similarly to a known tumor promoter.
7 citations
,
July 2008 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study identified molecular elements controlling the expression and stabilization of THH protein in hair follicle cells, revealing key mechanisms that support hair shaft development in mice.
7 citations
,
March 2004 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” Tiger tail banding and hair abnormalities are reliable indicators for diagnosing trichothiodystrophy.
January 2013 in “International Journal of Trichology” This case report describes a young girl with trichothiodystrophy and suggests the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary interventions for her educational challenges.
3 citations
,
October 1994 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study developed a novel monoclonal antibody, TYHF-1, which specifically reacts with hair keratins but not with epidermal keratins or various other tissue cells.
10 citations
,
January 1997 in “Dermatology” This case report details two siblings with trichothiodystrophy, identifying reduced hair sulfur content as essential for diagnosis despite varied symptoms complicating recognition.
86 citations
,
August 2011 in “Toxicological sciences” In this study, researchers found that TCDD exposure accelerated differentiation and altered gene expression in human epidermal cells, indicating the epidermal barrier as a target of TCDD-activated AHR.
68 citations
,
August 2009 in “American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A” This study systematically reviewed clinical findings in trichothiodystrophy patients and suggested a new clinico-genetic classification to help better understand the ichthyotic phenotype and its management.

,
August 2023 in “Drug safety” This source reports that trastuzumab deruxtecan improves outcomes in HER2-positive and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, emphasizing the need for careful adverse event monitoring, particularly for interstitial lung disease, and managing emetic risk to maximize benefits.
5 citations
,
March 2021 in “Hepatitis Monthly” This study found that tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) is an effective and safer alternative to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for chronic hepatitis B, with fewer long-term side effects like nephrotoxicity and decreased bone density.
