This study found that mutations in the FGF5 gene are the primary genetic factor causing long hair in domestic cats through an autosomal recessive mechanism.

This chapter reviews recent findings on androgen receptor function, structure, and interactions, highlighting post-translational modifications and mutations related to prostate cancer, but reports no new experimental results.

A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.

This case report identifies a novel nonsense mutation in the CDH3 gene associated with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy.

This study reported that heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the human hairless gene did not differ from healthy homozygotes in the pattern of androgenetic alopecia.

Understanding genes can help diagnose and treat skin color disorders.

In this study, researchers found that heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the hairless gene showed no difference in the pattern of androgenetic alopecia compared to unaffected individuals.

In this case report, researchers identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in the MBTPS2 gene associated with the mild form of IFAP syndrome in a 7-year-old boy.

This study identified a novel mutation and confirmed a previous mutation in the LIPH gene in a woman with autosomal recessive woolly hair, expanding the mutation spectrum for this condition.
