Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne, Published online: 12 December 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-07459-5 Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammation of the skin, the genetic basis of which is incompletely understood.
