This study found that overexpression of the FA2H gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cells may enhance hair proliferation and regulate genes affecting cashmere fineness.

This study observed that mice with a Cx43 mutation exhibited slower and asynchronous hair regrowth with severe cuticle weathering, mimicking aspects of hair phenotype in some ODDD patients.

This study found that activating CB1 receptor signaling in human hair follicles increased stem cell proliferation while reducing differentiated cell survival, suggesting CB1's role as a survival stimulus for epithelial stem cells.

This meta-analysis found that the rs2476601 SNP of the PTPN22 gene is significantly associated with reduced susceptibility to alopecia areata, with carriers of the C-allele and CC-genotype having a lower risk.

This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.

This study identified three variants in the HR gene among Mexican patients with alopecia areata, with one novel variant potentially serving as a risk factor for the disease.

This case report identifies two specific mutations in the WRN gene in a 40-year-old female with Werner syndrome, highlighting the need for awareness of its early manifestations and treatment options.

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

This study found no increased frequency of the TNF2 allele in Mexican patients with adverse cutaneous drug reactions mediated by delayed hypersensitivity, suggesting its lower relevance compared to findings in Caucasian populations.

This study identified genetic variants in the DSG4 gene associated with the autosomal recessive form of monilethrix in Chinese patients, expanding the understanding of its phenotypic spectrum and clinical features.

This report describes three Saudi sisters with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, who exhibited typical features of the condition along with unusual gynecological anomalies.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.

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.

This study identified a splicing-site deletion in the DCAF17 gene associated with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous pedigree, leading to typical phenotypic features.

This study reported that Pantaneiro sheep from the Pantanal region of Brazil exhibit greater genetic variability and adaptability compared to the commercial Texel breed, highlighting their potential for further research and importance in Brazilian sheep farming.

This review discusses the patterns and regulatory mechanisms of keratin expression in various biological conditions and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers found that the rs3118470 mutation in the IL2RA gene significantly increases the risk of developing alopecia areata, and they emphasize the need for future research with larger, more diverse populations to validate these results.

In this case report, a girl with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 experienced stabilized disease and reversal of alopecia universalis after treatment with glucocorticoids and methotrexate.

This study suggests a potential genetic component in CFA among Ridgeback dogs, but MLPH genotyping did not identify the MLPH gene as a contributing factor.

This study found no significant difference in CUX1 core promoter methylation levels between different lambskin patterns in Hu sheep, suggesting other mechanisms influence CUX1 expression related to hair follicle development.
