This study reported that while lichen planus was not significantly linked to hepatitis C virus infection, pruritus, dry skin, and hair loss were more common in HCV patients post-interferon treatment.

This article reviews the association between hepatitis C virus and systemic disorders like mixed cryoglobulinemia, highlighting potential autoimmune side effects from interferon-a2b treatments, and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This study found no association between W locus allele variations and phenotypic traits like eye color, head spotting, and fur length in Turkish Van cats, suggesting other genetic factors should be explored.

This paper reports no new results; it addresses the effects of Dutasteride on testosterone and DHT in men, and discusses the implications for androgen deprivation and COVID-19 outcomes.

This study found that specific Y-chromosome alleles may influence susceptibility to prostate cancer in Iraqi males, suggesting their potential use in screening for the disease.

This study found that the interaction between heat shock protein 90 and lamin A/C is crucial for the growth, migration, and self-aggregation of dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential role in alopecia areata mechanisms.

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 in psoriasis patients, the K17 protein probably functions as an autoantigen, with the HLA-Cw*06:02 risk genotype strongly linked to the T cell response size.

This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.

This study identified a novel G207E STING mutation associated with severe inflammatory symptoms and suggested that common polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1 may modify the phenotype in affected individuals.

This study reports that a novel gain-of-function mutation in TMEM173, combined with polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1, results in a distinct clinical phenotype with features of SAVI, including alopecia and photosensitivity.

This case report describes a 33-year-old Kashmiri woman with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome who has a rare DCAF17 gene mutation, c.321+1G>A, providing further evidence for its role in the genetic basis of this neuroendocrine disorder.

In this study conducted on Iraqi individuals with celiac disease not on a gluten-free diet, researchers observed elevated serum urea and creatinine levels, which may indicate an increased risk of renal dysfunction, alongside decreased magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C compared to healthy controls.

This study found that the AR-E211 A allele is associated with a lower risk of both metastatic prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia in an Australian population.

This study found that in an Italian population, the HLA-DQB1*03 allele was associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata, particularly in cases with more than 50% hair loss.

This study found that men without prostate cancer carrying the A-allele of SNP rs1204038 had a 65% higher risk of PSA levels above 3 ng/mL compared to those with the G-allele, increasing referrals for further examination.

This study reported that alopecia occurred in 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, with some cases resembling alopecia areata and others associated with specific skin lesions.

This study identified significant genetic associations with frontal fibrosing alopecia at four genomic loci, suggesting it is a genetically predisposed immuno-inflammatory disorder influenced by the HLA-B*07: 02 allele.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

This study demonstrated that dominant mutations in mouse gasdermin A3 disrupt mitochondrial oxidative stress regulation, suggesting a gain-of-function effect on epidermal differentiation.

This study suggests that variations in PCOS phenotypes observed across different ethnic groups may be due to a genetic gradient resulting from historical human migrations and genetic drift.

This study suggests that the AR/EDA2R locus may contribute to early-onset female pattern hair loss, but no association was found with the 20p11 locus.

This study found that expression of certain mutant keratin genes in mice led to severe alopecia, suggesting a similar mechanism could cause hair loss in humans.

This study reports that transgene insertion in homozygous transgenic mice causes irreversible hair loss and impaired immune function, linked to interruption of the hairless locus on Chromosome 14.

This study mapped a spontaneous mouse hair mutation, "hague," to keratin genes on chromosome 15 but found no gene mutations in hague mice.

Researchers found a new genetic mutation causing a rare hair loss condition in the first Japanese child studied.

This study identified 374 eQTLs in scalp hair follicles associated with genes involved in metabolic, mitotic, immune processes, and responses to steroid hormones, contributing insights into genetic variation and hair traits.

This study found that the FSHR Ser680Asn (rs6166) gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of PCOS in the examined population and could serve as a molecular biomarker for identifying risk.
