This study identified a novel SCF mRNA splice variant in white merino sheep skin, which may play a role in hair follicle melanogenesis.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

This study identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene variants in 70.1% of Russian families affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, expanding knowledge of causative mutations.

The researchers reported finding a recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene responsible for perinatal lethality in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed, prompting the development of a screening test to help eradicate this genetic flaw.

In this study, researchers observed that twins with a novel de novo nonsense variant in HRAS exhibited distinctive features, including neuropsychiatric symptoms, potentially indicating a wider clinical spectrum for conditions known as RASopathies.

This study found that shorter CAG-repeat lengths in the androgen receptor may be associated with the development of androgen-mediated skin disorders like androgenetic alopecia, acne, and hirsutism in both men and women.

A fatty acid/protein complex in human hair helps protect it from damage.

This review discusses in vitro methods for evaluating the effects of hair care products on hair fibers, reporting no new results; the authors emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate and accurate equipment for testing.

This study conducted a genome-wide analysis in Tianzhu white yaks, identifying differential genes associated with hair growth between long-haired and normal-haired individuals.

Among Merino × Southdown cross sheep, this study found that certain variants of the KRT81 gene were associated with differences in fleece weight, but not with staple length or fibre diameter traits.

This study observed significant differences in hair and cashmere properties among three goat breeds in Southwest China, noting better quality cashmere in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats and their crossbreed compared to Dazu black goats.

In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in the KRTAP13-3 gene was associated with changes in heterotypic hair fibre diameter variation in Chinese Tan sheep.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

The researchers reported that certain physical characteristics of hair shafts, such as length and color, may influence mtDNA read counts and degradation state when analyzed by massively parallel sequencing.

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.

This study found that Nubian ibex have developed genetic adaptations in response to their desert environment, including enhanced skin barrier, DNA repair, viral response, and metabolism of toxic compounds.

This study found that genetic variants in the goat KRTAP22-2 gene are associated with the mean fiber diameter of cashmere in Longdong Cashmere goats, suggesting these variants could serve as molecular markers for improving cashmere traits.

This study found that improved protein extraction methods enhanced the resolution of hair proteins on gels, but differences in protein abundance between curly and straight Japanese women’s hair were minimal and unlikely to affect hair structure.

In this study, the researchers identified a variant in the CCHCR1 gene associated with an alopecia areata subtype characterized by impaired keratinization and autoimmune events.

In this study, a genetic analysis identified a pathogenic variant in the ALOXE3 gene associated with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and the patient's response to antifungal treatment highlights the risk of cutaneous fungal infections.

This study identified genetic loci and pathways associated with long hair growth in the Tianzhu white yak, providing new insights into the genetic mechanisms of this trait.

This study found that genetic variation in the KRTAP21-2 gene among crossbred Merino lambs was associated with differences in wool traits, particularly mean staple length.

This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.

This study used proteomic techniques to analyze human hair proteins, revealing keratin heterogeneity and identifying posttranslational modifications, such as cysteine trioxidation and methylation.
