Early diagnosis of hair tourniquet syndrome saved a baby's toe from being lost.

This article discusses the genetic hair disorder monilethrix, characterized by beaded, fragile hair due to defective keratin genes, and reports no effective treatment currently available; variability in severity was noted among affected siblings.

In this clinical case study, a 9-year-old girl was diagnosed with monilethrix, a hereditary hair shaft disorder characterized by weak, beaded hair, with management focusing on minimizing hair trauma.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with congenital alopecia characterized by complete irreversible hair loss and papular lesions associated with keratin-filled cysts.

This article reviews the genetic foundations of keratins in maintaining epithelial tissue integrity and links specific keratin variants to diverse ichthyosis forms, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study developed a mouse model lacking keratin 16 to replicate palmoplantar lesions, which may help uncover the molecular mechanisms driving these lesions in pachyonychia congenita and focal non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma.

This article reviews the roles of several signaling pathways and molecules, including FGFs, Hh, Notch, TGF, and Wnt, in the development of teeth and hair follicles, but reports no new findings.

This article reviews the case of a 2-year-old boy with rhombencephalosynapsis and considers its potential links to Gomez–López-Hernández syndrome, suggesting further research into its genetic causes; no new clinical results are reported.

This case report describes an 18-year-old man with pili annulati, characterized by a "shagreened" appearance of the hair shaft with alternate bright and dark bands and wide holes throughout the cortex.

This report describes a 28-year-old male with type 1 diabetes who presented with acrodermatitis enteropathica symptoms, highlighting potential challenges in blood glucose control linked to zinc deficiency.
