This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

In this study, the researchers found no significant link between CAG repeat numbers in the androgen receptor gene and female pattern hair loss in a Chinese population.

In this study, researchers identified a unique variant of alopecia areata characterized by an increase in telogen hair follicles and minimal inflammation present in the microenvironment.

In this study, researchers identified two independent genetic variants near the androgen receptor gene strongly associated with androgenetic alopecia in men.

This study reports a strong association between the MICA locus, specifically the MICA∗3-DR∗6-DQ6 haplotype, and Alopecia Areata in families.

This study found that isozyme profiles in polyoma virus-induced tumors were consistent and distinctive for each tumor type, except for salivary and mammary tumors which shared a profile.

This study examined genetic risk factors for alopecia areata in the Jordanian population but found no significant association between the 21 targeted risk loci and the condition, emphasizing variability in genetic predisposition across ethnic groups and potential non-genetic triggers.

This study found that intron 3 VNTR polymorphism in the IL-4 gene may be associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata in the Turkish population.

This study reports that X chromosomes often show greater differentiation between human populations than autosomes, likely due to a mix of demography and selection pressures.

This study found that 363 genes were differentially expressed in alopecia areata skin compared to non-lesional skin, suggesting T-cell mediated immune responses and distinct gene profiles related to the disease's stage.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

In this review, the authors emphasize that phenotypic heterogeneity in genetic systems and human diseases is influenced by stochastic fluctuation and network topology, proposing that ultrasensitivity and threshold effects explain this variability, which may inform strategies for preventing and treating genetic diseases.

This review discusses pyrene excimer nucleic acid probes for detecting biomolecules and protein-DNA interactions and reports no new experimental findings.

A specific mutation in PA-PLA1α causes abnormal hair growth.

This study found that IL-4 VNTR intron 3 and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms do not have a significant association with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Egyptian population.

This study uses cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how androgen receptor forms a non-obligate dimer to bind DNA, with implications for prostate cancer development.

This study found that the ACE gene I/D polymorphism may serve as a genetic susceptibility indicator for androgenetic alopecia in an Egyptian patient group.

This study found that Pomeranians with Alopecia X had fewer follicles per group, more fragile hair, and distinct hair cycle stages compared to non-alopecic Pomeranians, highlighting coat-type differences significant for diagnosing the condition.

In this study, two unrelated Honduran patients with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome had the same genetic mutation but displayed different disease severities, suggesting that factors beyond the ALDH3A2 mutation influence clinical outcome.

In this case report, the authors describe a partial androgen insensitivity syndrome patient with a novel AR gene mutation, highlighting challenges in gender assignment decisions for infants with partial AIS.

This review found that current forensic DNA phenotyping panels for biogeographical ancestry and visible traits face significant limitations due to inconsistencies in terminology, genetic understanding, and genotyping technologies, highlighting the need for harmonization and further research.

This study found compelling genetic evidence linking atopic and allergic conditions with the development of alopecia areata, suggesting a need for closer monitoring in affected individuals.

This study found that certain genetic variations in the OPN gene may be linked to atopic dermatitis and a higher prevalence of asthma in Caucasians.

In this study, no significant association was found between the VDR FokI gene polymorphism and alopecia areata, though further research in diverse populations is needed.

This study in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep identified two SNPs in the KRT71 gene that significantly affect wool length, with distinct expression patterns observed in hair follicles, suggesting KRT71 as a candidate gene for enhancing wool production traits.

In this study, the researchers identified a variant in the CCHCR1 gene associated with an alopecia areata subtype characterized by impaired keratinization and autoimmune events.

This paper discusses two preclinical models for studying alopecia areata and finds that testing new therapeutic agents should involve both the C3H/HeJ mouse model and the humanized mouse model for comprehensive insights.

This review summarizes structural insights into androgen receptor dynamics, highlighting its flexibility in binding numerous partners, which may explain adaptive resistance mutations in cancer and loss of function in androgen insensitivity syndrome.

This study identified a specific LIPH gene mutation (736T>A) as common in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, potentially indicating its role in the condition's manifestation within this population.

This study found that the unique crest feather formation in Polish chickens is driven by a 195-bp duplication in the HoxC10 gene region, which alters gene expression by modifying the genomic structure, suggesting a mechanism for diverse integumentary appendages in birds.
