A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

This study identified multiple genetic variants in Pakistani families with oculocutaneous albinism, including two novel variants, enhancing understanding of its genetic basis and aiding better management and counseling.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.

This case series describes three siblings with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, highlighting variations in their clinical presentations.

This study illustrates the severe neonatal clinical presentation of Netherton syndrome, which can be fatal despite intensive care, highlighting a specific homozygous mutation (c.1431-12G > A) associated with lethal cases.

This study identified a mutation in the KRTHB6 gene in two monilethrix families of Indian origin, linking specific genetic variations to different severities of hair defects within the families.

This study found a recurrent nonsense mutation in the HR gene linked to atrichia with papular lesions in two Kashmiri families, suggesting whole exome sequencing as an efficient method for diagnosis and genetic counseling.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, experiencing hair fragility and loss after a fever, and showing improvement in hair density following treatment, despite persistent symptoms.

This letter to the editor discusses the prevalence of frontal-vertex baldness and its association with family history in Korean men but reports no new findings.

In this study, three closely related Siamese cats were diagnosed with feline psychogenic alopecia, indicating the disorder may have a hereditary component.

This quality improvement initiative at Children’s Hospital of Orange County seeks to increase awareness and use of nonprofit pediatric wig programs by at least 50% over three months through educational interventions.

This study revealed that heterozygous mice with the hairy ear mutation exhibited significant gene expression changes related to hair growth, such as upregulation of hair keratin and keratin-associated proteins, shedding light on the Hoxc gene cluster's role in this phenotype.

This study examined the hair structure of five Muridae species to provide insights into their distinct pelage characteristics.

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.

This source reports that a comprehensive review of LSS gene variant phenotypes enhances understanding of congenital hypotrichosis 14 and could guide more precise genetic counseling and future research into disease mechanisms and potential therapies.

This genetic study identified four new keratin-associated protein genes in sheep, revealing significant sequence variation and suggesting complex evolutionary dynamics, with unique variants in some sheep breeds linking them to Romanov sheep ancestry.

This study reported that female patients aged 20-30 with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum DHT levels compared to healthy individuals, and those with a family history of the condition experienced earlier onset than those without it.

This personal account described enduring long COVID symptoms for four years following a COVID-19 infection, significantly impacting the author's career, lifestyle, and mental health, ultimately leading to early retirement and a move to a low-maintenance living community.

This review describes the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, highlighting new DCAF17 gene variants and their varying clinical implications.
