Alopecia: Syndromes of Genetic Significance

The genetic architecture of alopecia areata.

A major impetus to initiating the Human Genome Project was the belief that information encoded in the human genome would "accelerate progress in understanding disease pathogenesis and in developing new approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in many areas of medicine". Alopecia areata (AA) is a notable example of how understanding the genetic basis of a disease can have an impact on ...

S.F.A. Grant (ed.), The Genetics of Obesity, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-8642-8_2, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract A number of genetic obesity syndromes have been identifi ed by sequencing candidate genes in patients with severe obesity. Many of the initial fi ndings emerged from studying families who displayed a classical Mendelian pattern of inheritance; however, with more...

Overview of genetic auditory syndromes.

Accurate determination of the cause of hearing loss is critically important for clinicians for prognosis and management. Recognition of genetic syndromes is especially important, but this is dependent upon clear delineation of the characteristics of the syndromes. Research into underlying mechanisms of hearing loss is also much more effective if the cause of the hearing loss is known to be the ...
