Host genetic factors related to innate immunity, environmental sensing and cellular functions are associated with human skin microbiota

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Microbiome composition is influenced by genetics, although the specific host genetic factors responsible are not well known. Here, the authors performed a genome-wide meta-analysis to discover host genetic effects on skin microbiota and finding potential

Tyrosine Kinases in Autoimmune and Inflammatory Skin Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Tyrosine kinases relay signals from diverse leukocyte antigen receptors, innate immune receptors, and cytokine receptors, and therefore mediate the recruitment and activation of various leukocyte populations. Non-receptor tyrosine kinases of the Jak, Src,

Pan-Genome and Comparative Genome Analyses of Propionibacterium acnes Reveal Its Genomic Diversity in the Healthy and Diseased Human Skin Microbiome [PDF]

open access: yesmBio, 2013
Propionibacterium acnes constitutes a major part of the skin microbiome and contributes to human health. However, it has also been implicated as a pathogenic factor in several diseases, including acne, one of the most common skin diseases. Its pathogenic

Genetic skin diseases related to desmosomes and corneodesmosomes

open access: yesJournal of Dermatological Science, 2014
The integrity of the epidermis depends on the cohesion between keratinocytes, and desmosomes are the main adhesion structures. When cells become cornified, desmosomes are modified and transformed into corneodesmosomes. Mutations in the genes encoding desmosomal components underlie several skin diseases including palmoplantar keratoderma and forms of ...

Analogs of human genetic skin disease in domesticated animals

open access: yesInternational Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2017
Genetic skin diseases encompass a vast, complex, and ever expanding field. Recognition of the features of these diseases is important to ascertain a correct diagnosis, initiate treatment, consider genetic counseling, and refer patients to specialists ...

Genetics and Omics Analysis of Autoimmune Skin Blistering Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) of the skin are characterized by autoantibodies against different intra-/extracellular structures within the epidermis and at the basement membrane zone (BMZ). Binding of the antibodies to their target antigen leads

Psychosocial implications of rare genetic skin diseases affecting appearance on daily life experiences, emotional state, self-perception and quality of life in adults: a systematic review

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2023
Background Since the beginning of human genetic research, there are very few publications sharing insights of the negative impact of rare genetic skin diseases (RGSD) on patients’ experiences. This systematic review assessed the psychosocial implications

Generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cell lines from two patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis Bullosa

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2023
Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) is a rare and severe genetic disease responsible for blistering of the skin and mucosa caused by a wide variety of mutations in COL7A1 encoding type VII collagen.
