This study found that among women with PCOS, the FokI CC genotype of the VDR gene may offer protection against acne and seborrhea, while the VDR-TaqI dominant genotype is associated with reduced oxidative stress.

This study suggests no significant association between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers found no significant association between VDR gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility to alopecia areata, suggesting that these genetic variations may not play a role in the disease's development.

Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

This study highlights the role of Orai1 in ameloblast differentiation and maturation, showing that its down-regulation affects cell proliferation and enamel formation during tooth development.

This case report describes a rare instance of hyperandrogenism and increased hirsutism associated with endometrial cancer in a postmenopausal woman, with symptoms resolving and androgen levels normalizing after a total laparoscopic abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.

This research highlights that engineered mice lacking the vitamin D receptor show multiple health issues similar to human vitamin D deficiency, underscoring the widespread impacts of the vitamin D endocrine system.

This review discusses the molecular role of the vitamin D receptor in regulating various biological actions such as bone mineralization and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the complexity of vitamin D's function in multiple tissues.

This review discusses the association between vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome, noting the need for further research on their impact on the disorder's manifestations.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma for musculoskeletal pain relief and function improvement, but notes the current studies' limitations regarding methods and types of treatment.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

In this study using data from young women in West Bengal, India, the researchers identified that leptin signaling impairment, insulin resistance, and specific gene mutations significantly contribute to PCOS, with obesity commonly manifesting in affected individuals.

This study found that metabolism-related genes significantly impact the prognosis and metastasis in breast cancer, and the development of prediction models may guide personalized therapeutic strategies.

This study found that melatonin at 0.2 g/L for 72 hours most effectively enhances cashmere growth in Liaoning cashmere goats by upregulating the lncRNA MTC, which activates NF-kB signaling.

This study found that specific polymorphisms in the VDR gene, Taq1, and Cdx1, were significantly associated with increased risk of chronic telogen effluvium in women.

This study found that the rs2228570 polymorphism of the VDR gene was associated with an increased risk of melanoma, while the rs731236 polymorphism was linked to a protective effect against the disease in Colombian patients.

This study found that vitamin D regulates cholesterol metabolism and may influence prostate cancer development through mechanisms affecting prostate cell growth and sex hormone metabolism.

This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.

In this study, researchers found that certain vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms are significantly related to insulin concentration during a glucose tolerance test in young women with hyperandrogenism, but these polymorphisms did not affect bone metabolism or other biochemical parameters.

This study found that among young women in West Bengal, India, co-occurring PCOS and related conditions like estrogen resistance and leptin receptor insufficiency are common, with notable genetic variations identified, including impairments in leptin signaling and insulin resistance.

In this study, the authors used a Bayesian Poisson - Hidden Markov Model to analyze COVID-19 cases by blood type in Europe and Africa, finding differences in hidden states and infection rates based on blood type across these regions.
