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 report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with APECED syndrome carrying a unique homozygous mutation in the AIRE gene, the first of its kind documented.

In this study, prenatal ultrasonography was found to be a valuable tool for screening ectodermal dysplasia during pregnancy, and a new EDA gene variant associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia was identified, aiding in more accurate diagnoses and reproductive decision-making.

In this case report, a late preterm male infant presented with a pathogenic TP63 gene variant, consistent with Rapp-Hodgkin Syndrome, showing symptoms such as ichthyosiform erythroderma, cleft palate, and ankyloblepharon, highlighting the complex management and diagnostic challenges in such cases.

Mutations in the WNT10A gene cause Short Anagen Hair syndrome and increase the risk of male pattern hair loss.

This review discusses ichthyosis with confetti, highlighting its genetic basis, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and current treatment options but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a splicing-site deletion in the DCAF17 gene associated with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous pedigree, leading to typical phenotypic features.

Genetic mutations cause various hair diseases, and whole genome sequencing may reveal more about these conditions.

In this study, researchers explored the diverse causes of alopecia in dogs, highlighting how factors such as infection, hormonal imbalances, and genetic conditions contribute to hair loss, and emphasized the importance of tailored diagnostics and treatment strategies.

This index of Harper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology, Fourth Edition, provides no clinical results or new findings.

This report describes a 23-year-old male with Clouston’s syndrome, characterized by nail abnormalities, palmoplantar skin thickening, anodontia, and androgenic alopecia, highlighting the need for supportive management due to the lack of a definitive treatment.

This narrative review explores the molecular mechanisms driving skin development and their role in skin diseases, emphasizing how disruptions in these pathways can lead to conditions like congenital disorders and cancers, potentially guiding new targeted therapies.

This review examines the role of P-cadherin in skin and hair biology, emphasizing its importance in human hair growth, cycling, and pigmentation, and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses genetic skin diseases in humans and animals, offering a resource for memorization and exploring animal models' role in understanding human disease mechanisms; it reports no new clinical results.

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.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This case report describes a patient with Clouston Syndrome who developed eccrine syringofibroadenoma, marking only the fourth such association documented in existing literature.

This review discusses the genetic factors involved in hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the role of genes in hereditary hair diseases.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

This study reports the first cases of recessive KRT17-related pachyonychia congenita involving all ectodermal derivatives in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

In this study, researchers found that 68% of orthodontic patients with oligodontia displayed hair disorders, such as hypotrichosis and androgenetic alopecia, highlighting trichoscopy and trichogram as valuable diagnostic tools to distinguish between isolated and syndromic forms of the condition.

This review discusses the conserved molecular mechanisms controlling hair follicle development and cycling and suggests they may also apply to other ectodermal derivatives, like teeth and feathers, but it reports no new results.

This report describes a new case of isolated trichothiodystrophy with characteristic brittle hair and suggests a simplified classification scheme for understanding sulfur-deficient hair disorders.

This article reviews the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of Trichothiodystrophy and discusses the associated DNA repair defects, but does not report new clinical findings.
