This article reports on lentiginosis observed within plaques of linear atrophoderma of Moulin and discusses its potential classification as a twin-spotting phenomenon but provides no new clinical research results.

This case study reported transient localized hypertrichosis in a 26-year-old woman following cast removal from a forearm fracture, which resolved on its own after 5 months, suggesting that similar incidents of hair growth after trauma may have a benign and temporary course.

This case report describes a child with Gomez–Lopez–Hernandez syndrome, highlighting developmental challenges and medical interventions, yet noting academic success and participation in mainstream activities.

This case study reports a 6-year-old girl developing acquired progressive kinking hair syndrome, likely induced by sodium valproate, marking it as the first documented instance linked to this medication.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy in Saudi Arabia diagnosed with IFAP syndrome, highlighting its distinct characteristics and distinguishing features from similar conditions, and notes successful genetic confirmation of the disorder.

In this study, EDA-A2 transgenic mice exhibited multifocal myodegeneration dependent on XEDAR, suggesting a potential role for XEDAR in skeletal muscle homeostasis.

This article presents five family cases of monilethrix and reports that neither vitamins nor desquamative ointments are effective treatments, although symptoms may spontaneously regress over time.
