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.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic signs are strong predictors of female pattern hair loss, leading to a nomogram model for risk prediction.

This review discusses the complex genetic factors contributing to androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the variability in genetic risk across different populations and the emerging understanding of personalized treatment strategies, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that elevated tissue RBP4 levels correlate with disease severity in alopecia areata and decrease after effective baricitinib treatment, while the rs3758539 polymorphism is linked to disease susceptibility but not to treatment response.

This review discusses forensic DNA phenotyping and its potential applications, particularly for human identification in Latin American populations, but notes challenges due to genetic diversity and reports no new results.

In this case study, researchers reported the first documented instance of malignant transformation of congenital triangular alopecia into basal cell carcinoma in a 48-year-old woman, underscoring the importance of assessing long-standing alopecic areas for malignancy.

In this review, researchers analyzed literature on trichotillomania and found advances in understanding its neurobiology—highlighting dysregulated reward circuits and genetics—and treatments, with behavioral therapy and innovative pharmacological approaches improving outcomes where traditional SSRIs do not.

This review highlights advances in understanding trichotillomania's neurobiology and treatment, noting behavior therapy's effectiveness and new pharmacological and digital therapies, while addressing underdiagnosis, stigma, and research gaps.

In this literature review, researchers highlighted that trichotillomania involves dysregulated reward circuits, abnormal sensory processing, and potential genetic factors, advancing both therapeutic strategies and understanding of the condition, but stigma and provider training gaps persist in effective care provision.

This study identified the FGF5:c.578C>T variant as linked to long hair in Akitas in Japan and suggests that genetic testing could help improve their breeding practices and welfare.

This study found that integrating breed-specific BOA and SNP-based models helps reveal the genetic factors involved in thermotolerance traits in beef cattle, enhancing insights into thermoregulation and potentially improving cattle's heat resilience.

This study found that genetic predictions of male pattern baldness from European populations do not generalize well to African populations, highlighting significant differences in genetic architecture between them.

This review reports that pregnancy-specific dermatoses, including AEP, PEP, ICP, and PG, present overlapping clinical features and can significantly impact fetal outcomes, particularly ICP and PG, which are linked to preterm birth and stillbirth.

In this study, researchers found that specific genetic variations at loci rs1160312, rs6113491, and rs1041668 are independent risk factors for androgenetic alopecia in men, and these risks can be influenced by diet.

This report describes a patient with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia who lacked the usual hair growth issues, highlighting the challenge of diagnosing this condition due to atypical presentations and underscoring the need for awareness to improve management and future planning.

In this study, researchers identified three novel genetic loci associated with androgenetic alopecia, including one with significant association in females only, which may indicate a role for sex-specific genetic factors in patterned hair loss.

In a study conducted on mice, researchers observed that exposure to ionizing radiation led to significant metabolic imbalances, including dyslipidemia and disruptions in amino acid metabolism, with activated protein C providing partial protection by normalizing certain plasma metabolites and lipids.

This study presents a rare instance of Netherton syndrome diagnosed incidentally in siblings of consanguineous parents, initially misdiagnosed as other skin conditions, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation in chronic skin cases to prevent misdiagnosis.

The researchers reviewed the status, challenges, and future prospects of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene-editing technology in livestock breeding, noting its benefits and highlighting concerns about low efficiency in inserting foreign genes and off-target effects.

This study found that genetic variants linked to hypothyroidism significantly increased the risk of developing alopecia areata, suggesting a causative connection between the two conditions.

This study found significant associations between PCOS susceptibility and specific genetic variants in the APOA5 and PLIN1 genes among Western Saudi women, identifying novel alleles and genotypes that may influence PCOS risk and related clinical characteristics.

In this review, the authors emphasize that phenotypic heterogeneity in genetic systems and human diseases is influenced by stochastic fluctuation and network topology, proposing that ultrasensitivity and threshold effects explain this variability, which may inform strategies for preventing and treating genetic diseases.

This literature review highlights challenges in managing alopecia areata in the Middle East and Africa, noting significant regional gaps in data, treatment guidelines, and public awareness that impede patient care and emphasize the need for improved support and resources.

In this review, chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients is linked to drug pharmacology, genetics, and nutrition, affecting patients' mental health; scalp cooling is highlighted as an effective prevention method, but more research is needed for broader solutions.

This article explores potential risk factors for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and suggests that seborrheic dermatitis may play a role in its development, but it reports no new scientific findings.

This paper reviews the complexity of nest alopecia's causes and associations, noting chronicity, recurrence, and associations with comorbid conditions, and presents two clinical cases, but reports no new quantitative findings.

This source reports findings from a case study detailing hair loss in two female patients, published in the JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, emphasizing that specific diagnostic outcomes or treatment results are not included in the summary.
