This review discusses factors affecting hair health, types of alopecia, and the potential of phytochemicals in managing hair loss but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for further studies.

This case report describes four patients with hypertrichosis cubiti and short stature, but could not determine a genetic link between hypertrichosis cubiti and skeletal dysplasia.

In this study, researchers identified a novel STS gene (c.287G > A; p.W96*) mutation in Pakistani individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, expanding the understanding of its genetic causes and aiding in genetic counseling.

This review discusses the genetic origins of autosomal recessive woolly hair with hypotrichosis and reports no clinical results; it highlights the link to homozygous variants in the K25 keratin gene.

This review discusses how certain genetic, infectious, and metabolic conditions might influence disease severity and highlights the potential for new therapies, but it presents no new research findings.

This review discusses the clinical features, genetics, and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a common type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers identified genetic factors associated with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting a protective effect of a specific CYP1B1 gene variant, which may offer insights into the disease's pathogenesis and future risk mitigation strategies.

This study suggests that although the G972R variant of the IRS1 gene might increase AA excess risk in heterozygous carriers with CYP21 mutations, both variations play a limited role in PCOS development.

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 study identified a new genotype, V281+I172N/V281L, linked to non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, suggesting it should be considered in genetic panels for the condition.

In this study, sustained-release sodium valproate showed high efficacy in achieving seizure remission for adults with focal and generalized epilepsy over one year, but side effects like weight gain and tremor were more frequent among heterozygous carriers of certain gene variants.

This study explains that congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency presents as a continuous phenotype and involves symptoms ranging from virilization to accelerated growth in children, with diagnosis relying on clinical, biochemical, and genetic evaluation.

This report suggests that patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax should be evaluated for FLCN mutations, as they may indicate Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and associated cancer risks.

This study found that the SRD5A2 A49T A variant is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, lower circulating 3α‐diolG levels, and a decreased risk of baldness.

This study found that the ABCG2 (rs2231142) polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia and hypercholesterolemia in young Mexican males.

This paper reviews strategies to enhance the effectiveness of topical drug delivery by addressing skin barrier challenges, optimizing drug delivery systems, and personalizing treatment approaches, highlighting both current advancements and limitations in the field.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.

This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.

This study identified a novel mutation in the coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene, contributing to hereditary coproporphyria in a family, with decreased enzyme activity observed in the affected members.

This report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with APECED syndrome carrying a unique homozygous mutation in the AIRE gene, the first of its kind documented.

This report describes a unique case of Schöpf–Schulz–Passarge syndrome in a Taiwanese man linked to a previously unreported homozygous WNT 10A mutation, underscoring its role in ectodermal dysplasia.

This study identified a mutation in the steroid-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene associated with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, impairing male sexual development due to altered androgen receptor protein function.

This study observed that amino acid uptake into wool follicles varies significantly, with cysteine showing the highest uptake rate, suggesting specialized transport systems that may influence wool growth.

This study described seven male patients and six female carriers of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, highlighting distinct dermatological and ophthalmic markers including follicular hyperkeratosis and corneal dystrophy.

Certain genetic differences may affect how likely someone is to get COVID-19 and how severe it might be.

In this study, researchers reported that the SHBG +5790 G>A polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of developing resistance to hormonal castration in advanced prostate cancer patients.

In this study, individuals with a c.1072C > T mutation in the EDAR gene showed more hair shaft deformations compared to non-mutation carriers, highlighting EDAR's role in hair follicle development.

This review discusses the hypothesis that polycystic ovary syndrome may originate in fetal life due to prenatal androgen exposure, but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores the current understanding of genetic and hormonal influences on male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, providing guidance for clinicians but reports no new results.

Four genetic risk spots found for hair loss, with WNT signaling involved and a link to curly hair.
