September 2004 in “PubMed” In this study, no significant association was found between the VDR FokI gene polymorphism and alopecia areata, though further research in diverse populations is needed.
October 2025 in “Dermatology Practical & Conceptual” In this study, UVFD and sUVRD techniques revealed distinctive characteristics of GD lesions, suggesting that GD might be more common in younger individuals and females than previously thought, possibly due to underdiagnosis. Incorporating dermatoscopy in exams may help improve GD detection and management.

January 2017 in “The Annals of Clinical and Analytical Medicine” 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.
April 2016 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study suggests that low-cost videomicroscopes may not be reliable for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders due to limitations in color quality and resolution.
November 2020 in “Skin Research and Technology” This study found that videodermoscopy showed higher sensitivity and specificity than clinical examination for diagnosing female pattern hair loss and may serve as an alternative to scalp biopsy in the future.
