This study reports that variation in the ovine TCHH gene may influence wool fibre curvature, with specific gene variants affecting the mean fibre curvature in sheep.

This study identified a novel G207E STING mutation causing a distinct phenotype involving alopecia, photosensitivity, and thyroid dysfunction, and suggests that common polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1 may influence disease presentation.

This study identified a 14,883 bp genomic deletion affecting the Plcd1 and Vill genes as likely responsible for the abnormal phenotype observed in snthr-1Bao mice.

This study found that specific genetic variants of the KAP22-1 gene in Egyptian sheep breeds were significantly associated with wool traits like crimp, staple length, kemp score, and greasy color grade, suggesting their potential use in breeding programs.

This review summarizes the influence of gene polymorphisms on genetic predisposition to polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no new experimental or clinical results.

This study found that BDNF gene polymorphism was significantly associated with depression in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism in the Western Ukrainian population, unlike VDR and NMDA polymorphisms.

This study found that certain gene polymorphisms in keratin 27 and ELOVL4 are linked to improved cashmere fineness and production traits in Liaoning cashmere goats.

In this case-control study, researchers investigated the association between SIRT1 gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk, finding no statistically significant differences in polymorphism frequencies between patients and controls, but noted trends that warrant further study in larger populations.

This study suggests that androgen receptor CAG polymorphisms may not significantly influence androgenetic alopecia susceptibility in Korean men.

This study identified eight alleles of the caprine KAP13-3 gene in cashmere goats, which could influence gene expression and cashmere fiber characteristics.

This study suggests that the TNF-α system may contribute to hyperandrogenism, obesity, and insulin resistance in polycystic ovarian syndrome, independent of the C850T polymorphism.

This study found that CRP levels were elevated in alopecia areata patients, with an inverse linear association between serum vitamin D and CRP levels specifically noted in ophiasis AA.

This study identified several significant genetic variants associated with alopecia universalis, including a novel association with HLA-DRB5, which may play a hidden role in the disease.

This review discusses the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in skin diseases like acne and hirsutism, and highlights the promise of antiandrogen drugs, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study identified key genetic regions associated with alopecia areata, highlighting both acquired and innate immune involvement, with a novel link to the upregulation of ULBP ligands in autoimmune disease.

This study presents evidence that keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome is caused by a mutation in the connexin 26 gene, expanding the gene's known involvement in various disorders.

This study revealed that human keratin-associated protein genes are expressed in specific patterns in hair fiber regions and vary in size, with some variations distinct across different populations.

This review explores genetic and lifestyle factors influencing hair diversity and reports no new findings, calling attention to the potential for future discoveries in genetic and epigenetic research.

This study investigated genetic and epigenetic markers for prostate cancer, reporting that certain genotype combinations may influence cancer risk or protection and identifying GSTP1 promoter methylation as a strong prognostic and diagnostic marker linked to tumor aggressiveness.

This review discusses the integration of omics analyses in androgenetic alopecia research, reporting no new clinical results but suggesting that collaborative multi-omics studies may enhance understanding of AGA's pathomechanisms.

Male pattern baldness is largely genetic, linked to the androgen receptor gene, and may relate to certain health issues.

This study identifies a mutation in the hairless gene that may impact thyroid receptor interaction, contributing to alopecia universalis congenita in an Arab Israeli patient.

Researchers found a new mutation in the HR gene causing hair loss and skin bumps in a Pakistani family.

This study used high-resolution imaging and genetic analysis to investigate hair density in the Dazu black goat, identifying key genes like GJA1 and GPRC5D involved in follicle development and maintenance, and highlighted their role in animal hair density regulation.

This study found that specific genes related to vascular endothelial growth factors are critical for feather maturity in certain chicken breeds, identifying key genetic markers that could enhance breeding efficiency.

This study found that specific genetic variations in the IRF2BP2 gene influence fleece structure in sheep, with one variant completely determining coat type and another significantly modifying fiber characteristics, providing valuable insights for improving fleece quality through selective breeding.

This study identified rare nucleotide substitutions in the SLC39A4 gene in children with acrodermatitis enteropathica, suggesting a genetic component to the disease's etiology.
