新研究:你的脸上爱长痘?马上要有新的疗法了( 三 )

这项覆盖人类全基因组的研究收获颇丰 , 研究人员确定了15个与严重痘痘问题有关的基因位点 , 其中有12个是以前从未发现的 。

And, strangely enough, many of these regions were also associated with the human hair follicle.

而且 , 神奇的是 , 这些区域中的很多都和人类的毛孔有关 。

"It was surprising that so many of the variants appear to influence the structure and function of the hair follicle," says the study's senior author Michael Simpson, a researcher in genomic information at King's College London.

研究的高级作者 , 伦敦国王大学的遗传信息研究员Michael Simpson说:“令人吃惊的是 , 这些基因型当中的很多似乎都会影响毛孔的形状和功能 , ”

"It may be that the genetic variation influences the shape of these hair follicles and makes them more prone to bacteria and inflammation, which are a characteristic of acne."
