The researchers in this study identified molecular mechanisms involved in frontal fibrosis alopecia, highlighting immune response and fatty acid metabolism, and developed a four-gene diagnostic model showing high accuracy in distinguishing affected individuals from controls.

The researchers investigated a Maine Coon cat with suspected classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and discovered a heterozygous deletion in the COL5A1 gene, underscoring the value of whole-genome sequencing for precise veterinary diagnostics.

This study reports the first case of mandibuloacral dysplasia syndrome associated with MTX2 gene mutation in the Chinese population, expanding the known spectrum of MTX2 mutations.

In this study, researchers identified a mutation in mice that causes hair loss and immune system issues, located on chromosome 18.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with features of Becker naevus syndrome, highlighting the importance of DNA analysis from skin to confirm the diagnosis after 9 years of symptoms.

This study found that zebrafish with a mutation in the GDP-fucose biosynthesis gene exhibited enhanced and faster regeneration of mechanosensory hair cells, implicating the importance of this gene and Notch signalling regulation in hair cell regeneration mechanisms.

This study found that dimethylarsinic acid significantly accelerates skin tumor development in hair follicle-targeted K6/ODC transgenic mice.

This study identifies a likely pathogenic homozygous missense variant in the AEBP1 gene in a patient with symptoms of classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, suggesting new perspectives for EDS classification and research.

This study identified that patients with compound heterozygous mutations in FOXN1 exhibited severe T-cell lymphopenia but retained normal hair and nail development, indicating a distinct clinical phenotype from classic FOXN1 cases.

This study found that Cutl1 mutant mice experienced retarded lung differentiation and abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis, indicating the vital role of CDP in lung development and hair follicle cell-lineage specification.

This study suggests that activating AMPK to phosphorylate ZDHHC13 may enhance MC1R function and reduce melanoma risk in individuals with red hair.

In this study, D6D knockout mice showed severe deficiency in AA and DHA, leading to unexpected effects on skin health, fertility, and immune cell development.

In this study, researchers identified a novel homozygous variant in the FAM83G gene responsible for autosomal recessively inherited palmoplantar keratoderma with curly hair in a consanguineous Pakistani family, suggesting FAM83G plays a crucial role in skin and hair homeostasis.

This study found that ZDHHC13 deficiency in mice is associated with abnormal liver function, lipid metabolism issues, and impaired mitochondrial function, highlighting ZDHHC13's regulatory role in liver metabolism.

This study found that tildacerfont treatment in males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia reduced androgen levels and improved markers of testicular function, suggesting potential benefits for male reproductive health.

This study identified a missense variant in the EDA gene of a male cat, which likely caused hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by hair and teeth abnormalities; this represents the first report of such a genetic condition in cats.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This study reported the first case of a NIPAL4 c.527C>A mutation in Romanian patients with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, finding that NIPAL4 mutations are more common than TGM1 mutations in this population.

This study found that caffeic acid treatment mitigated the negative effects of acrylamide toxicity in Wistar rats by normalizing tissue and serological indices.

Loss of COL17A1 causes hair follicle stem cells to age and leads to hair loss.

In this case report and literature review, researchers identified a novel mutation in the CLDN1 gene linked to neonatal ichthyosis-sclerosing cholangitis syndrome and found that its phenotype varies widely, suggesting a multidisciplinary approach is crucial for management.

This case report describes the first instance of juvenile hemochromatosis type 2A associated with secondary hypothyroidism, linked to a novel mutation in the HJV gene.

In this case report, the researchers identified pathogenic compound heterozygous mutations in a young girl with lipoid proteinosis, noting her relatively mild symptoms and recommending genetic testing for early diagnosis and management of this rare condition.

This article discusses the ongoing care needs for individuals with 21-hydroxylase deficiency due to mutations in the CYP21A2 gene but does not present new clinical findings.

This study reports that hypomorphic alleles of the Ass1 gene in mice resemble human CTLN1, providing a potential model for preclinical studies and indicating that standard treatments for CTLN1 can rescue phenotypes.

This study reports a novel missense mutation in the HR gene in a 68-year-old Hungarian woman with alopecia universalis and limb deformities, suggesting a need for further research on its role in these conditions.

This study observed four consanguineous families with congenital atrichia with papular lesions and identified three novel mutations in the hairless gene, which may contribute to the disorder.

This study reported that an HS-associated NCSTN mutation in iPSC-derived skin organoids led to altered hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of proteins linked to HS inflammation.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.
