Edward R. Winstead. A genome-wide search for susceptibility genes in bipolar disorder has yielded a potential hotspot on chromosome 22. In addition to the chromosome 22 region, researchers found evidence of susceptibility genes for bipolar disorder on chromosomes 3, 5, 10, 13 and 21.
Dermatophytes are fungi that require keratin for growth. These fungi can cause superficial infections of the skin, hair, and nails. Dermatophytes are spread by direct contact from other people (anthropophilic organisms), animals (zoophilic organisms), and soil (geophilic organisms), as well as indirectly from fomites.hese fungi can cause superficial infections of the skin, hair, and nails.

Tinea pedis is a fungal infection of the foot also known as athleteâs foot and is the most common fungal infection affecting the human skin. A fungal infection can affect any part of the body and is commonly referred to as a ringworm due to typical round rash (lesion) that is causes on the skin.Fungal infections predominantly occur in areas where the fungus can find its three life sustaining factors to thrive â warmth, darkness and moisture. fungal infection can affect any part of the body and is commonly referred to as a ringworm due to typical round rash (lesion) that is causes on the skin.
