A new mRNA variant of the SCF gene in sheep skin produces a shorter, different protein.

Two siblings with a genetic mutation had a form of rickets that doesn't respond to vitamin D.

Middle Eastern patients with epidermolysis bullosa show specific genetic mutations linked to different types of the disease.

A new mutation in the CYP11B1 gene was found in a woman with mild hyperandrogenemia, a rare cause of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

A new genetic change causing early stop in the androgen receptor gene was found in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Mutations in the Vitamin D receptor gene can cause hair loss similar to mutations in the Hairless gene.

Genetic variations in hair keratin proteins exist but don't significantly affect hair structure.

Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.

Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.

Ichthyosis with confetti is a genetic skin disorder with consistent ectodermal malformations and various KRT10 gene mutations.

A specific mutation in PA-PLA1α causes abnormal hair growth.

Early diagnosis of Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1 is crucial for treatment and was achieved through clinical examination and family history.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important for keeping skin cell attachment structures stable.

Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.

Androgen treatment with dihydrotestosterone may help maintain height in patients with 5-α-reductase type 2 deficiency, especially before puberty.

The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
