This study concluded that specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene significantly alter its protein structure, affecting interactions and contributing to the development of congenital hypertrichosis.

In this study, researchers found a significant association between the rs13405699 SNP at 2q31.1 and male pattern baldness among Han Chinese men, suggesting genetic influence on this condition in this population.

This study identified mutations in the STUB1 gene linked to hereditary cerebellar ataxia with cognitive impairment, revealing potential effects on protein function and patient symptoms, including accelerated aging.

This meta-analysis found that the rs2476601 SNP of the PTPN22 gene is significantly associated with reduced susceptibility to alopecia areata, with carriers of the C-allele and CC-genotype having a lower risk.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the hairless gene in a Polish family, which may contribute to congenital atrichia with papular lesions by affecting the gene's function.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.

This case report identifies a novel LIPH gene mutation linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese boy, expanding the spectrum of known mutations associated with this condition.

This study in Japanese women identified SNP rs2419385 as significantly associated with hair thinning, suggesting potential involvement of nearby genes in its development.

In this in silico study, researchers analyzed nonsynonymous SNPs in the LIPH gene linked to hypotrichosis and identified three potentially harmful variants (W108R, C246S, and H248N) out of 215 total, using sequence- and architecture-based bioinformatics techniques to differentiate between harmful and benign SNPs.

This study identified a novel pathogenic splice-site variant of the LAMB3 gene in patients with junctional epidermolysis bullosa, highlighting the importance of gene sequencing for diagnosis.

In this study, a genetic analysis identified a pathogenic variant in the ALOXE3 gene associated with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and the patient's response to antifungal treatment highlights the risk of cutaneous fungal infections.

This study identified a 14,883 bp genomic deletion affecting the Plcd1 and Vill genes as likely responsible for the abnormal phenotype observed in snthr-1Bao mice.

This study examined uncharacterized CYP21A2 gene variants related to non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and found that several mutations reduce enzyme activity, which may help improve diagnostic and treatment strategies.

This study identified a specific hemizygous intronic variant in the MBTPS2 gene associated with IFAP syndrome in a patient, revealing exon skipping and reduced normal transcript expression through long-read RNA sequencing.

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

This study identified a novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair, contributing to understanding the genetic basis of this condition.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

In this case report, a novel heterozygous mutation in the insulin receptor gene was identified in an adolescent girl with type A insulin resistance syndrome, characterized by excessive hair growth and skin changes, and her mother.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This study identified a novel recessive mutation in mice causing lethal congenital lamellar ichthyosis, with skin and hair follicle alterations similar to human congenital ichthyoses, linked to a specific genetic defect affecting Fatp4.

In this study, the ACE1 rs1799752 polymorphism was not found to predispose COVID-19 survivors to long-COVID symptoms, supporting previous findings that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 variants also do not influence post-COVID conditions.

This study found a genetic electrophoretic variant in high-sulfur proteins from human hair, which was more prevalent in the Japanese samples compared to Caucasian samples, suggesting an autosomal inheritance pattern.

This case series found that patients with the NUDT15 415C>T variant experienced severe azathioprine toxicity, suggesting genotype-based dosing could reduce adverse effects.

This study identified that in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, the c.736T > A LIPH mutation is associated with a mild phenotype, while the c.742C > A mutation may lead to severe baldness.

This article discusses intra-host single-nucleotide variants in SARS-CoV-2, highlighting their potential to inform on virus strain diversity, immune escape, and drug design, but it reports no new clinical results.
