“…A total of 30 candidate genes were selected as follows (Table S2): genes related to androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in males, such as AR/EDA2R [6,14], GRID1 and MC4R [15,16], and PPARG, PPARGC1A, and PPARGC1B [17][18][19][20] were included. In addition, genes involved in the steroid hormone synthesis and metabolic pathways and their receptors were selected: SRD5A1, SRD5A2, ESR1, ESR2, and PGR [21,22] as well as HSD3B1, CYP17A1, and CYP19A1 [7,14,23,24]. Genes related to itching and pain, which were identified to be related to eFPHL in this study and the HF cycle modulationrelated genes were also selected: CNR1 and CNR2 [25,26], TRPV1 and TRPV3 [27,28], TACR1 [29], and ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC4, and ABCG2 [30][31][32].…”
