This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a primitive coarse wool characteristic in Merino sheep that enhances environmental adaptability and fine wool yield without reducing quality, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving the imprinted Gtl2-miRNAs locus, regulate this advantageous trait.

This review discusses how increased gene copy number for telomerase components may contribute to telomerase up-regulation in cancer cells, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.

Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
