research Sequence Variation in Caprine KRTAP6-2 Affects Cashmere Fiber Diameter

2 citations , August 2022 in “Animals”

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits

7 citations , July 2019 in “Animals”

This study identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

A Newly Identified Missense Mutation of the HR Gene Is Associated with a Novel, Unusual Phenotype of Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis 1 Including Limb Deformities

research A newly identified missense mutation of the HR gene is associated with a novel, unusual phenotype of Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis 1 including limb deformities

6 citations , May 2012 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

This study reports a novel missense mutation in the HR gene in a 68-year-old Hungarian woman with alopecia universalis and limb deformities, suggesting a need for further research on its role in these conditions.

research Sequencing KRT71 as a candidate gene for hair shape variation in dromedary camels

January 2025 in “Kuwait Journal of Science”

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.

research Variation in Ovine KRTAP13-3 and Its Association with Wool Characteristics in Chinese Tan Sheep

1 citations , April 2025 in “Animals”

In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in the KRTAP13-3 gene was associated with changes in heterotypic hair fibre diameter variation in Chinese Tan sheep.

community Genetic variations associated with response to Dutasteride. Why is it never mentioned?

in Research/Science 26 upvotes 1 year ago

Genetic variations influence how people respond to dutasteride for hair loss, with some benefiting more from finasteride. Dutasteride is effective for most, but genetic differences may cause it to be less effective for some.

community Switched from finasteride to dutasteride - 2 month update

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 2 years ago

The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment, but experienced increased libido, itchy scalp, and accelerated hair loss. Another user suggested that genetic variations might cause dutasteride to be less effective and recommended checking for specific genetic markers.

community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

373 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

community Genomic Sequencing for Hair Loss

in Research/Science 156 upvotes 5 months ago

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
