This review discusses hair abnormalities in various epidermolysis bullosa subtypes and reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that human evolution involved accelerated changes in the HR gene, affecting its role in mediating postnatal hair cycling.

This paper reports a case of sebaceous carcinoma developing at the site of chronic candidiasis in a patient with keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome, without presenting new generalizable findings.

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 review discusses genetic causes and classification of rare, monogenic forms of alopecia and highlights the role of molecular genetic research in understanding hair loss mechanisms but reports no new clinical results.

This report presents a 12-year-old male with symptoms indicative of Marie-Unna type hereditary hypotrichosis, characterized by a specific pattern of hair loss evolving with age.

This study reports that a young man with severe testotoxicosis maintained spontaneous fertility despite suppressed FSH levels, underscoring the importance of high intratesticular testosterone levels for spermatogenesis.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.
