This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.

This study suggests that egfl6 expression in the pharyngeal pouches is not essential for craniofacial development in zebrafish.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

This case report identifies a previously undocumented nonsense mutation in DCAF17 in a Chinese patient with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, inherited from consanguineous parents.

In this case study, the researchers reported that surgical debridement combined with targeted dermatological and antimicrobial therapy effectively managed chronic lower-limb wounds in a patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, underscoring the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treating this rare condition.

In this case report, researchers described a treatment for post-aplasia cutis congenita alopecia using follicular unit transplantation, platelet-rich plasma, and fat grafting, which significantly improved hair follicles, skin quality, and sensitivity in the affected scalp area.

In this case report, an 18-year-old male with an oral epidermoid cyst experienced trouble swallowing and respiratory distress, but recovered well following surgical removal of the cyst.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1 and a rare non-ossifying fibroma in her femur, suggesting a potential link between the genetic condition and bone lesions.

This case report presents a very rare instance of pilonidal sinus in the preauricular region, marking only the second known case documented in medical literature.

This abstract compiles a list of medical syndromes and conditions related to tongue abnormalities and other systemic features but reports no new research findings.

This review examines the regeneration capabilities of skin, oesophagus, and oral mucosa, highlighting the oral mucosa's unique scarless healing properties and the potential of cell therapy to improve scar reduction in wound healing.

Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.

This review discusses the human Nude/SCID phenotype and FOXN1 gene's role in immunological disorders affecting T-cell development but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, transiently activating the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in chickens transformed reticulate scales on the feet into feathers comparable to body feathers, without ongoing treatment, suggesting this pathway affects the diversity of bird skin appendages.

This study reports differential gene expression in the leading edge and inner surface epithelial cells of murine eyelids, suggesting that distinct signaling pathways are active during embryonic eyelid closure.

This study presented cases where potentially significant germline variants were unexpectedly found during genomic profiling for myeloid malignancies, discussing the challenges in genetic counseling and management, especially when variants don't match the patient's condition.

In this study, all 26 patients with epidermolysis bullosa were found to have extensive dental caries, with various dental and oral complications varying by EB type, due in part to inadequate oral care and associated physical limitations.

In this study, researchers found that circulating exosomes from different sheep breeds can significantly alter hair growth in mice, with the source of exosomes influencing hair follicle size and hair diameter, as well as expression of specific hair growth and melanin synthesis markers.

This study found that feather patterning is primarily self-organizing and dynamic, relying on both genetic and epigenetic controls, with implications for similar processes like fingerprints and pigmentation.

The Celsr1 gene is crucial for normal hair patterning in mice.

Keratin 17 is important for hair and nail structure and affects pachyonychia congenita symptoms.

This article reviews IFAP syndrome, an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by ichthyosis follicularis, alopecia, and photophobia, and reports no new clinical findings.
