This study found that DEFB1 polymorphisms, specifically the rs1800972 CG and GG genotypes, may predict susceptibility to and severity of alopecia areata.

This study found that the VEGF +405G/C polymorphism may be an inheritable risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in south Indian women.

This study found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.1 gene were significantly associated with cashmere weight, length, and guard hair length in Chinese Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats, but not with fibre diameter.

This study concluded that STK11 gene polymorphisms were not predictive of metformin response in women with PCOS, though they may influence alopecia and hirsutism.

This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.

This review discusses how the HSD3B1(1245C) genotype may impact androgen physiology and the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and does not report new experimental results.

This study reported two cases of alopecia universalis triggered by PEG-interferon and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C, with hair regrowth observed after therapy completion or withdrawal.

In this study, researchers found that a specific genetic variant in the INSR gene is linked to severe insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia in type A insulin resistance syndrome, suggesting the benefit of exon sequencing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This letter to the editor discusses a case of delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita linked to a new mutation in keratin 6b but presents no new research findings.

This study suggests that the rs2075876 variant in the AIRE gene may significantly increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the examined male population.

This study found that in mice, competition for hair follicles guides the organization of follicle-innervating LTMR neurons during early development, with different neuronal subtypes showing varying adaptive responses to increased neuron populations.

This study found that transient activation of c-Myc in transgenic mice stimulates keratinocyte proliferation and sebocyte differentiation, affecting normal epidermal and hair follicle development.

This study found that disrupting Smad4 signaling in young mice led to overactivation of follicle stem cells, causing hyperplasia and depletion of the stem cell niche.

In this study, certain genetic variations in the ESR1 and ESR2 genes were strongly associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and related metabolic issues in Tunisian women.

PCOS may have evolved as an advantage in past environments with food scarcity.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that a new non-invasive method for collecting and analyzing mouse hair follicles could replace traditional biopsy methods, providing advantages for translational research and routine applications.

This study examined the genetic basis for the curly hair trait in Mangalitza pigs, finding two specific genetic variants that contribute to this distinctive phenotype through autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study reported that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 and IGFBP3 rs2854744 may increase the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in a Southeastern Iranian population.

This study examined wool traits in Angora rabbits using low-coverage whole genome sequencing, identifying six QTLs and a gene, FGF10, linked to fiber growth and diameter, suggesting a cost-effective approach for complex trait analysis in genomic breeding.

This study found that specific DNA variants in the TCHH, WNT10A, and FRAS1 genes are associated with predicting straight hair in Europeans, showing high sensitivity but low specificity, especially using a neural networks approach.

In this study, significant associations were observed between specific genetic polymorphisms in BDNF and CRH-R1 and the occurrence of vitiligo, along with differing serum levels of neurotransmitters between vitiligo patients and healthy controls.

This study concluded that GLCAT14A-C genes are crucial for the function of glucuronic acid transfer to AGPs in Arabidopsis, affecting various growth and reproductive traits such as seed germination and root hair growth.

This study suggests that coexisting LSS and TSPEAR variants might contribute to a complex phenotype of congenital hypotrichosis and ectodermal abnormalities in a child, and highlights the need for cautious interpretation of genotype-phenotype links and the potential value of broader genetic testing.

This study found that overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome carrying the HSD3B1 1245C allele had an increased presence of female pattern hair loss compared to those with the wild-type genotype.

In this study, researchers found no significant link between ABO blood type, rhesus factor, or genotype and premature graying of hair, but observed potential associations with lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol intake.

This study found that among women with PCOS, the FokI CC genotype of the VDR gene may offer protection against acne and seborrhea, while the VDR-TaqI dominant genotype is associated with reduced oxidative stress.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.
