In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

In this study, researchers identified three pathogenic de novo genetic variants contributing to epidermolysis bullosa simplex in young children, highlighting the complexity of genetic influences and underscoring the need for early genetic screening for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

This review summarizes recent discoveries of GPCRs for lysophosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylinositol, detailing their roles as lipid mediators, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that thymosin beta-4 overexpression in mice increased hair growth speed and density, likely by regulating P38/ERK/AKT signaling through VEGF expression.

This study found that patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia showed significant alterations in protein expression in forehead corneocytes, suggesting the condition may have systemic implications beyond the scalp.

This study identified a homozygous frameshift mutation in the HOXC13 gene associated with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a consanguineous Syrian family, suggesting crucial roles for HOXC13 in hair and nail development.

The researchers identified a specific mutation in the desmoglein 4 gene linked to localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis, which presents with variable hair loss severity in affected individuals from a large Pakistani family.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

In this case report, a 20-year-old male with tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome was found to have a de novo frameshift mutation in the TRPS1 gene, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this rare disorder.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in the 3 beta-HSD gene that confirmed inherited 3 beta-HSD deficiency in a Pakistani child with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study presents the first reported Spanish case of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy, identifying a new CDH3 mutation and highlighting the importance of clinical and genetic evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

This report describes a new case of syndromic ichthyosis caused by compound heterozygous mutations in AP1B1, detailing the associated clinical features and molecular consequences in the patient.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, emphasizing the need for thorough clinical history, high suspicion for early diagnosis, and continuous long-term follow-up.

This study identified compound heterozygous mutations, c.1101del and c.736 T > A, in the LIPH gene responsible for causing autosomal recessive woolly hair in a child, with c.1101del being a novel frameshift mutation.

This study identified a novel LZTR1 mutation associated with hybrid schwannoma and neurofibroma in a patient with schwannomatosis, but not all cases of hybrid tumors are linked to this condition.
