New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.

This study observed that congenital hypotrichosis in crossbred cattle is linked to short, curly, dilute-color hair, potentially due to color dilution mutants in European breeds.

This source describes how androgenic alopecia, or pattern hair loss, affects about 70% of men and is linked to factors like stress, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle issues, which can also impact psychological well-being and potentially contribute to severe health conditions such as heart disease.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

This case report describes a 37-year-old female with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia who presented with severe acne, progressive hair loss, and primary infertility, managed with prednisolone.

This case report highlighted two atypical childhood alopecia cases: congenital atrichia without papules and Bjornstad syndrome with alopecia areata; emphasizing diagnostic challenges, notably the absence of keratotic papules usually associated with congenital atrichia and the presence of alopecia areata in Bjornstad syndrome.

In this case report, a 16-year-old female with Netherton syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, exhibited symptoms such as skin issues, hair abnormalities, and elevated serum IgE levels. The diagnosis was supported by skin biopsy, and treatment included topical therapies, NB-UVB, and infliximab.

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.
