This case study confirmed a diagnosis of Werner syndrome in a 27-year-old woman through genetic testing, highlighting the condition's characteristics and the importance of multidisciplinary management.

This case report documents successful virilization, including penile length increase, in a boy with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome using high-dose testosterone combined with anastrozole.

This study highlights the potential role of the CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 genes in severe acne vulgaris among Han Chinese, especially males.

This article discusses junctional epidermolysis bullosa caused by COL17 deficiency, noting a lack of experimental therapies and the impact of nonsense mutations, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper reviews the new German and international guidelines for diagnosing and managing PCOS in adolescents, emphasizing a provisional diagnosis for those with partial criteria and recommending revisiting this diagnosis three and eight years after menarche.

This study found that 17beta-estradiol enhanced allergy responses in certain age groups of female mice and inhibited thymus involution and regeneration after contact hypersensitivity.

In this study, researchers identified three molecules in hair that varied with age, suggesting potential markers for aging and targets for cosmetic products.

This study demonstrated that vitamin B12 may promote hair growth in vitro by modulating intracellular signaling in the wnt-pathway, suggesting potential benefits for micrograft transplantation.

This study found that patients with non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency do not appear to be at risk of short adult stature despite increased bone age in childhood.

This meta-analysis utilized genome-wide association data to explore the genetic traits related to perceived youthfulness across different sex groups in the UK Biobank, incorporating factors like facial aging and lifestyle habits, but the abstract does not report specific results.

This case report described a 9-year-old girl initially suspected to have complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, whose laboratory tests later suggested an alternative diagnosis involving atypical steroid metabolism patterns and hormonal responses.

This study describes the synthesis of finasteride from 4-androstene-3,17-dione in a seven-step process with an overall yield of 18.6%.

This study found that topical application of 17 alpha-propylmesterolone significantly increased proliferative activity in hair matrix cells in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This case report describes a 36-year-old Pakistani phenotypic female diagnosed with 46,XY 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, highlighting that such disorders of sexual development can manifest with symptoms like obesity, hirsutism, and amenorrhea later in life due to unique circumstances.

This article discusses the treatment considerations for a 17-year-old boy with a six-month history of acne but reports no new research findings.

This case control study investigated serum IL-17A levels in alopecia areata patients compared to healthy controls to explore its potential role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with obesity who was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism, leading to myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and bradycardia. Following treatment with IV levothyroxine and liothyronine, his symptoms improved, and he achieved significant weight loss over five months.

This study observed that higher childhood levels of DHEAS were associated with more advanced pubertal development and correlated with changes in DNA methylation near puberty-related genes in both boys and girls, potentially explaining the hormone's influence on puberty.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study demonstrates that collagen XVII is crucial for normal glomerular development, is present in normal colon epithelia, and plays a role in carcinogenesis in colorectal and squamous cell cancers.

In this study, 7-10-year-old Polish children showed a significant increase in skin pigmentation levels, with girls exhibiting this change more prominently than boys, suggesting an early sign of puberty.

This study found that a gene from hamster flank organs is indirectly regulated by androgens, despite lacking direct androgen responsive elements, indicating involvement of androgen-dependent transcription factors.

This study observed that androgen levels rise with pubic hair development in Tanner stages, differing by sex and age, with DHEA showing a significant prepubertal increase especially in precocious adrenarche.

This case report identifies a novel AR gene mutation in an adolescent with primary amenorrhea, suggesting that CAIS should be considered when evaluating patients with a female phenotype and breast development.

IL-17 inhibitors are more effective than methotrexate in preventing psoriatic arthritis in psoriasis patients.
