Norfolk Terriers have a genetic skin defect causing scaling and blisters due to a keratin issue.

In this study, researchers examined chicken feather follicle tissues from differently colored chickens and found that the genes SLC45A2 and GPNMB are involved in promoting melanin deposition, which enriches understanding of the genetic mechanisms affecting feather color.

In this study, researchers investigated the genetic basis of the feathered foot trait in Guangxi native chickens and found that the gene TBX5 plays a critical role, suggesting it affects feather formation by regulating the proliferation and migration of dermal fibroblasts.

This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This study found that genetic variants in the goat KRTAP22-2 gene are associated with the mean fiber diameter of cashmere in Longdong Cashmere goats, suggesting these variants could serve as molecular markers for improving cashmere traits.

This study analyzed gene expression in Pashmina goats and identified key biological processes and molecular functions involved in long-fibre production, suggesting potential pathways for enhancing this trait in other goat breeds.

This article reviews the genetic and androgenic factors influencing the development of androgenetic alopecia and reports no new findings; the authors highlight a need for further research into the underlying mechanisms.

This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting a broader genetic basis for the disease and potential targets for genetic testing and therapies.

This study investigated the genetic factors influencing cashmere quality differences between Jiangnan cashmere goats and Changthangi pashmina goats, identifying 4,942 differentially expressed genes and highlighting 24 key genes related to hair follicle development and cashmere fiber formation.

This study reports that oxytocin receptor expression in keratinocytes shows a potential relationship with touch sensory neurons, suggesting a role in skin sensitivity and the broader function of sensory neurons.

This study evaluated genetic differences in hair loss patients from Romania and Brazil, finding that specific gene variations were more common in Brazilian patients. The researchers suggest certain drugs may be more effective based on these genetic markers, but most genes showed no population differences.

This study examined the expression of fatty acid transporters and binding proteins in mouse sebaceous glands and found that CD36 did not affect the localization of other related molecules.

This article discusses the potential genetic basis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in women of African ancestry but does not provide new research results.

Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.

This research found that variations in the KRTAP gene family are likely responsible for the diverse hair phenotypes seen among mammals, influenced by gene repertoire differences, expression, and evolutionary factors.

This study found that the lack of expression and deletion of specific hair keratin genes on chromosome 7q36 in Hirosaki hairless rats suggests the crucial role of these genes in hair growth.

This study analyzed gene expression changes during the autumn coat color change in mountain hares and found conserved gene regulation with snowshoe hares, highlighting its role in seasonal camouflage adaptation.

This study identified 295 genes with differential expression in Yangtze River Delta White Goats that produce high-quality brush hair, suggesting these genes and the MAPK signaling pathway may influence hair quality traits.

This study identified two novel genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease in APOE ε4 non-carriers, revealing insights into the disease's underlying regulatory mechanisms.

This study found that LEF-1 expression influences dermal papilla cells' proliferation through Wnt signaling, impacting the potential for cashmere yield improvement.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that dysfunctions and altered expression of aquaporins may play a role in PCOS-related disorders, potentially impacting folliculogenesis and integrating with the insulin-dependent hypothesis of PCOS pathogenesis.

This case report describes a rare genetic mutation causing congenital hypotrichosis, where a 2-year-old girl showed some improvement in hair growth with topical minoxidil treatment, supporting its potential use for this condition.

In this study, researchers developed a novel genetic tool using Wif1-CreER knock-in mice for precise labeling and manipulation of dermal papilla cells, which could enhance understanding of hair biology and aid in developing targeted therapies for hair-related disorders.

This study found that knocking out STAT5 expression in specific mouse hair follicles after tamoxifen treatment initiated uniform hair growth, highlighting STAT5's role in regulating the hair growth cycle.

This study identified the novel genetic variant rs143321413 within the EEF2K gene, which may play a role in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study, genetic variants in the KRT25 and SP6 genes were found to be responsible for curly hair in horses, with the KRT25 variant also causing hypotrichosis due to an epistatic effect.

This study found that neurotrophin-4 regulates Cav3.2 T-current expression in D-hair neurons via TrkB receptor activation, highlighting its role in mechanosensitive function.

This study found that Tibetan cashmere goats have genetic adaptations that contribute to their finer cashmere, possibly enhancing their ability to withstand the cold climate of the Tibetan plateau, while identifying specific genes related to hair growth, pigmentation, and heart development.

Certain proteins involved in DNA modification may affect the genetic changes in systemic lupus erythematosus and could indicate the disease's activity.
