Molecular genetics of hereditary hair and nail disease

Abstract: Hair and nail development have many similarities and are likely to share many developmental pathways. This is evident from the ectodermal dysplasias that affect both appendages. Of special interest are syndromic disorders as they show the effects of disturbances in molecular pathways that are essential for normal embryonic development. In this review, recent results from studies of syndrome affecting hair and nail development will be discussed.

“…It is part of a multiprotein complex containing Axin, PP2B, Gsk3ß and the "tumor suppressor"^ protein APC [37][38][39] . If unchecked by an external signal, Gsk3ß phosphorylates ß-catenin, marking it for degradation through the ubiquitin pathway 40 . However, upon receipt of a Wnt signal, the degradation machinery becomes inactive and ß-catenin is stabilized.…”
