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 review discusses the role of YAP/TAZ proteins in skin cancer physiology and tumorigenesis, and the potential of targeting these proteins in skin cancer treatments, but presents no new experimental findings.

This review highlights recent insights into using antiandrogens as preventive and therapeutic measures against COVID-19, emphasizing their role in blocking viral infection by modulating androgen-mediated host protease TMPRSS2 and cell entry protein ACE2, with varying success in clinical trials.

This study assessed breeding value estimation methods for Korean Sapsaree dogs, finding varied accuracy across BLUP approaches and identifying significant genomic regions affecting traits like body height and hair length. The researchers suggest these findings can enhance breeding strategies for this culturally significant breed.

This study found that integrating breed-specific BOA and SNP-based models helps reveal the genetic factors involved in thermotolerance traits in beef cattle, enhancing insights into thermoregulation and potentially improving cattle's heat resilience.

This book chapter reviews the genetic and epigenetic factors influencing PCOS, particularly in a global context and specific to India, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that WNT10A variants are associated with short anagen hair in children and may overlap genetically with male pattern hair loss.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, shorter CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene were associated with lower dihydrotestosterone and androstenedione levels, but a higher prevalence of acne and hirsutism.

Genetic defects in the Wnt/PCP pathway may cause congenital yellow nail syndrome.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.

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.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.

Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

The Thr1022Ala variant in the hairless gene is not a disease-causing mutation.

This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

This study identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the hHb3 gene associated with monilethrix, highlighting its role in this hair disorder.

This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.

This letter reports a woman with nevoid basal carcinoma syndrome and pronounced androgenic alopecia associated with a novel PTCH gene mutation p.Leu1159fsx32, suggesting a genetic link in this case study.

This paper describes a case of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy associated with a novel PLEC mutation and diffuse alopecia, highlighting a potential genetic link that remains uncertain.

In this study of pediatric melanocytic lesions, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital observed no concurrent BAP1 loss and BRAFV600E positivity, characteristics of adult BIMT, suggesting that these tumors may develop at a later age rather than in childhood.

This study mapped the curly mutation in mice to a specific region on chromosome 11, identifying it as a candidate model for studying human genetic hair disorders.

Mutations in the ACTB gene cause Becker’s nevi and may lead to muscle issues in Becker’s nevus syndrome.

In this study, researchers identified two de novo germline missense mutations in the hair keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in patients with monilethrix whose parents were not clinically affected.

In this study, researchers found that the prevalent Glu 410 Lys mutation in hHb6 and a new Glu 403 Lys mutation in hHb1 are linked to monilethrix, suggesting a mutational hotspot in type II hair keratins.

This study found two recurrent missense mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix in families from Russia and Colombia, supporting their role in this hair disorder worldwide.

This study found a novel nonsynonymous genetic variant in the hHb1 gene of a family with monilethrix, which differs from ten previously reported pathogenic mutations.

Some Greek melanoma patients have gene mutations linked to increased cancer risk, a new color feature helps diagnose melanoma, the incidence of a skin condition in the Netherlands is rare, and a gene possibly affects male-pattern baldness.
