This study found that a combined genotypic and phenotypic reanalysis increased molecular diagnostic accuracy from 9% to 26% in a cohort of unresolved monogenic diabetes cases, identifying five previously overlooked genetic defects.

This study found that stage-specific epigenetic changes, particularly involving the gene PDGFC, may affect wool fiber development in Zhongwei goats, potentially serving as a biomarker for fur goat selection.

This study found that DNA methylation regulates hair follicle differentiation in cashmere goats by suppressing gene expression during induction and enhancing it during differentiation, with potential involvement of specific lncRNAs.

This study suggests that a newly identified KRT 71 gene variant may be responsible for curly hair in Curly Coated Retrievers and potentially contributes to follicular dysplasia.

This study identified ABCB6 as the first gene linked to dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) in a large Chinese family, suggesting it plays a role in skin pigmentation.

Among families with pediatric brain disease, this study identified over 200 novel genetic causes, revealing potential treatment points using drug repurposing or nutritional supplementation.

This study found that a specific genetic mutation in the Fgf5 gene may contribute to the long-hair trait in Angora rabbits by reducing the binding capacity of the FGF5 protein.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

This review discusses advances in understanding the role of Malassezia in seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff, highlighting the significance of the hair follicle infundibulum and the action of zinc pyrithione, but reports no new clinical results.

This research evaluated the wound healing potential of NIMO-CH, a cellulose hydrogel with indigenous microorganisms, in ICR mice and found complete wound closure with hair growth by day 18-20, suggesting it could be a viable alternative for wound care.

This study identified a missense variant in the EDA gene of a male cat, which likely caused hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by hair and teeth abnormalities; this represents the first report of such a genetic condition in cats.

In this study, researchers at the Laboratory of Regenerative Medicine WUM are exploring the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-19 infection, focusing on stem cell mobilization and engraftment processes, and utilizing advanced diagnostic techniques to develop algorithms for rare disease classification, including amyloidosis.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical presentations of alopecia in epidermolysis bullosa patients, noting diverse hair abnormalities and emphasizing the lack of a consensus on its natural history.

This study found that UVB exposure led to visible tanning and distinct DNA methylation changes in pigmentation genes in tan-capable skin but not in non-tan skin, highlighting GNAS as a potentially UVB-responsive gene.

In this study, the authors identified a role for hair follicles in regulating the formation and sympathetic innervation of arrector pili muscles, influencing hair follicle stem cell activity and potentially explaining hair loss associated with beta-blockers and androgenic alopecia.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin samples from Dorper sheep to identify 395 differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) linked to hair follicle growth phases, suggesting these lncRNAs may play a role in the regulation of hair shedding through pathways like estrogen and PI3K-Akt signaling.

This case report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of Swyer Syndrome in adolescents with slow pubertal progression and primary amenorrhea due to the high risk of germ cell cancers.

This study identified a specific hemizygous intronic variant in the MBTPS2 gene associated with IFAP syndrome in a patient, revealing exon skipping and reduced normal transcript expression through long-read RNA sequencing.
