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.

Dermatophytosis, more commonly known as as ringworm, is a fungal infection of the skin. Ringworm is a misnomer. The infection isnât caused by a worm. Itâs caused by a fungus.Ringworm infection can affect both humans and animals. The infection initially presents itself with red patches on affected areas of the skin and later spreads to other parts of the body. The infection may affect the skin of the scalp, feet, groin, beard, or other areas.tâs caused by a fungus. Ringworm infection can affect both humans and animals.
