In this study, novel mutations in the BTD gene were identified in a patient with profound biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of biotinidase activity measurement and mutation analysis for early diagnosis.

This case report describes a patient in whom vitiligo was induced by diphenylcyclopropenone treatment for alopecia universalis, highlighting the potential overlap of susceptibility genes between the two conditions.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor is crucial for initiating the postnatal hair follicular cycle in mice, preventing alopecia associated with its inactivation.

This review discusses the expression patterns and biochemical roles of Msx and Dlx genes during development but does not present new research findings.

This study observed that NSG-hu-BLT mice developed graft-versus-host disease characterized by CD8+ T lymphocyte-related cell death in the skin and liver, which may affect their utility in other research areas.

This study suggests that the expression of the DP2 receptor is higher in balding scalp cells and that its knockdown could inhibit the transition to the catagen phase in cultured human hair follicles, potentially counteracting hair growth inhibition associated with male pattern baldness.

In this case report, a 25-year-old woman with VKHD experienced an unusual occurrence of vellus-like hair growth on her normally hairless palm, observed twice over two years, expanding the known integumentary manifestations of VKHD.

This study found that the ID2 gene was highly expressed in bulge-derived keratinocytes when exposed to contact sensitizers and may serve as a marker to distinguish sensitizers from irritants during in vitro testing.

This study suggests that alopecia in vitamin D receptor null mice is due to impaired initiation of the hair cycle rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

This case report describes a patient with lupus nephritis coexisting with discoid lupus erythematosus and vitiligo, noting improvement in proteinuria and DLE lesions following treatment, while vitiligo lesions persisted.

This study found that the hairless gene product (Hr) suppresses VDR-mediated gene activation by directly interacting with the vitamin D receptor, potentially affecting hair follicle function.

This case report observed that while a 4-year-old boy with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II showed biochemical and bone improvement after vitamin D and calcium treatment, his alopecia did not improve.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

This study found that deleting all three Desmoglein 1 genes in mice led to impaired skin barrier function, disorganized epidermis, and postnatal lethality, highlighting Dsg1's essential role in epidermal development and maintenance.

This study identified a new heterozygous mutation in the connexin 26 gene (c.263C>T; p.Ala88Val) in a premature neonate with KID syndrome, who later died from complications.

In this study, treatment with recombinant DKK2 was shown to significantly stimulate hair progenitor cell growth and enhance hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures by activating the Wnt/ẞ-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting a potential role for DKK2 in promoting hair growth.

This study described the clinical and genetic features of two Iranian siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, identifying a specific VDR gene mutation contributing to their symptoms.

In this study, mutations in the vitamin D receptor were identified in Brazilian children with rickets and alopecia, leading to impaired receptor activation and reduced 24-hydroxylase expression.

This study demonstrated that a ligand-independent action of the vitamin D receptor significantly affects keratinocyte behavior in hair follicles and skin, pointing to its crucial role in maintaining normal hair and skin structures in rats.

This case report describes a 30-year-old Brazilian male who developed vitiligo lesions following diphencyprone therapy for alopecia areata.

The document concludes that various skin conditions have specific characteristics and treatments, and highlights the importance of vitamin D in managing these dermatological issues.

In this study, a 10-year-old girl developed vitiligo and psoriasis during IFN-alfa treatment for chronic hepatitis B, with neither condition improving after stopping the therapy.

This study found that mice lacking the vitamin D receptor (VDR) developed skin tumors more rapidly than those with normal VDR activity, regardless of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) presence.

This study found that ΔNp63α directly regulates VDR expression, which in turn may reduce invasiveness in an epidermoid cancer cell line.

In this report, a case of a bullous lesion developed at the injection site in a patient treated with PEG-IFN-α-2a for chronic hepatitis C was described.

In this study, the researchers found that alopecia in VDR null mice is likely due to issues with hair cycle initiation rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2 often exhibit skin abnormalities, which correlate with genotype severity and serum vitamin D levels, and suggest premature aging.

This study found that skin-resident and recruited γδ T cells play a crucial role in an early wound healing response following cutaneous vaccinia virus infection, rather than in controlling virus replication.
