A rare genetic skin condition usually affecting males was found in a 9-year-old girl.
research The Immune Response to COVID-19: Does Sex Matter?
Men and women get COVID-19 at similar rates, but men tend to get sicker and have a higher risk of dying, while women usually have stronger immune responses and vaccine reactions.
research A Functional Polymorphism in Interleukin-1α (IL1A) Gene Is Associated with Risk of Alopecia Areata in Chinese Populations
A certain genetic variation in the IL1A gene may lower the risk of a hair loss condition in Chinese people.
research DMBA/TPA Treatment Is Necessary for Basal Cell Carcinoma Formation from Patched Deficient Epidermal Cells in Ptch Flox/Flox CD4Cre +/- Mice

research Androgen Receptor Polymorphism-Dependent Variation in Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentrations of European Men
Certain genetic variants in the androgen receptor are linked to higher PSA levels, potentially affecting prostate cancer screening outcomes.
research Genetic Dissection of Retinoic Acid Function in Epidermis Physiology
Retinoic acid affects skin and hair health by working with specific receptors, and its absence can lead to hair loss and skin changes.
research How the Stress of Fight or Flight Turns Hair White
Stress turns hair white by depleting color-giving cells in hair follicles through a specific neurotransmitter related to the body's stress response.
research A New Locus for Hereditary Hypotrichosis Simplex Maps to Chromosome 13q12.12-12.3 in a Chinese Family
A new genetic area linked to a rare hair loss condition was found on chromosome 13 in a Chinese family.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Late Presentation of Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy should be considered in patients with hair thinning, and genetic counseling is important.
research Isomorphic and Isotopic Phenomenon Occurring Simultaneously in a Case of Granuloma Annulare
A patient with granuloma annulare experienced both isotopic and isomorphic responses, with skin lesions responding to steroids but relapsing after stopping treatment.
research Clinical Impact of Molecular Diagnostics in Endocrinology
Molecular diagnostics help identify genetic defects causing endocrine diseases, improving diagnosis and treatment options.
research A Newborn With Hair Loss
