This study identified heterozygous mutations in the ABCC9 gene as the genetic basis of Cantú syndrome, suggesting the syndrome as a new member of potassium channelopathies.

This study investigated the role of the ABCA4 gene in human keratinocytes and hair follicle stem cells and found that silencing the ABCA4 gene increases the harmful effects of all-trans-retinal on hair follicle stem cells.

This study suggests that human hair follicles may serve as a model for molecular analysis of ABCA4 gene splice-site variants, facilitating research into the pathogenicity of ABCA4 retinopathies.

This study found various ABC transporters are transcribed in human hair follicles, suggesting their possible role in HF biology and potential for new therapeutic interventions.

This study identified clinical features and genetic variants associated with early onset female pattern hair loss, highlighting decreased hair shaft density and specific SNPs related to androgenic features.

This study identified novel genetic associations with skin phenotypes such as age-spots, freckles, and hair characteristics in Japanese women, providing insights into the genetic basis of these traits.

This review discusses the state-of-the-art knowledge on pseudoxanthoma elasticum, summarizing recent advancements in genetics, pathomechanisms, and potential treatments but reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes a three-generation family with Cantú syndrome linked to a novel ABCC9 gene variant, featuring acromegaloid appearance and hypertrichosis without growth hormone abnormalities, and suggests a potential association with pituitary adenomas.

EF and PXE not closely related.

This study described specific skin and hair follicle abnormalities in three Japanese patients with Cantu syndrome, which may relate to the regulation role of SUR2 in hair follicle growth.

This study explored the molecular biology of skin adaptations in pangolins, revealing that certain genes for lipid synthesis have inactive patterns, while others related to skin function remain intact, suggesting complex evolutionary changes in their skin physiology.

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

This article analyzes the potential for insights from monogenic disorders to inform the understanding and treatment of common polygenic diseases, though complete predictability based on genotype remains unrealistic.

This study found no significant difference in SARS-CoV2 IgG seroconversion rates between patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases treated with targeted immune-modulating therapies and those on conventional systemic treatments.

This study confirms that zebrafish engineered with Cantú Syndrome mutations in ABCC9 and KCNJ8 genes exhibit gain-of-function characteristics in their cardiovascular KATP channels, similar to mammalian counterparts.

This case report describes an infant with congenital hyperinsulinism linked to a genetic mutation in the ABCC8 gene, illustrating challenges in managing persistent hypoglycemia despite medical interventions, leading to a near-total pancreatectomy.

This study identified specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.
