research Transgenic Kallikrein 14 Mice Display Major Hair Shaft Defects Associated with Desmoglein 3 and 4 Degradation, Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation, and IL-36 Signature
Mice with extra human KLK14 had hair and skin problems, including weaker cell bonds and inflammation, linked to Netherton syndrome.
research The Retarded Hair Growth Mutation in Mice Is an Allele of Ornithine Aminotransferase
The study identified the retarded hair growth (rhg) mutation in mice as an allele of the ornithine aminotransferase (Oat) gene, caused by a G to C transversion in Exon 9, leading to a glycine to alanine substitution. This mutation resulted in elevated plasma ornithine levels, reduced OAT activity, and symptoms such as delayed hair growth, cataracts, and retinal degeneration, making it a potential model for human gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina. The study involved a large backcross panel of 1,462 mice and 65 offspring from specific crosses, providing a robust model for understanding OAT deficiency. Arginine supplementation improved growth in mutant mice, supporting the link between the rhg mutation and OAT deficiency.
research The Genetics of Autism and Steroid-Related Traits in Prenatal and Postnatal Life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Presence of a Deletion Mutation (c.716delA) in the Ligand Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor in an Indian Patient with Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type II
A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.
