This case report indicates that retinoblastoma can occur in a microphthalmic eye and recommends using multiple imaging techniques due to potential differences in calcification visibility.

In this study, a specific retinoic acid receptor antagonist caused severe craniofacial anomalies in mouse fetuses when administered early in pregnancy, but not limb anomalies, highlighting developmental stage-specific roles of retinoic acid.

This case report is the first to associate NEMO syndrome with systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting a potential role for NF-kB essential modulator in the pathogenesis of SLE.

This case report documents the second known instance of a salivary gland choristoma on the chest wall of a newborn, highlighting its benign nature and the importance of accurate diagnosis.

This report describes a case of Goltz syndrome in a 12-year-old Saudi girl, highlighting the variability in symptoms and the importance of documenting such rare syndromes.

In this study on Drosophila wings, researchers identified 435 genes with significant expression changes during wing hair morphogenesis, and found new phenotypes for 9 genes through functional validation.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of masculinization involving androgen signaling and their roles in male embryonic development and conditions like hypospadias and prostate cancer, and reports no clinical results.

In this case report, researchers documented a 19-year-old male professional athlete with acquired trichorrhexis nodosa, noting environmental factors like chlorine exposure during swimming may have contributed to his condition, which improved after advice on hair care changes.

This review explores hair signs related to nutrition disorders, such as thin and dyspigmented hair, without presenting new clinical findings; the authors highlight unknowns regarding underlying causes.

This article describes the first documented case of acquired uncombable hair syndrome in a 39-year-old woman, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.

In this case report, researchers described a 6-year-old girl with severe mandibuloacral dysplasia type A, noting unique physical deformities and a rare homozygous LMNA gene mutation not commonly associated with the condition.

This study reports the discovery of mutations in the PADI3, TGM3, and TCHH genes as molecular genetic causes of uncombable hair syndrome in children, indicating an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.

In this systematic review, animal studies showed that cytarabine causes multi-organ toxicities, notably neurotoxicity, linked to oxidative stress and other mechanisms, though study quality raises concerns about reliability and translation to human outcomes.

Lactic acid cream can help improve skin bumps known as eruptive vellus hair cysts.
