This study found no strong genetic link between hair color and alopecia areata risk, although a weak inverse association with blond hair was suggested, noting the results are exploratory and require further investigation with larger cohorts.

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 study identified specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.

In this study, researchers found that while most genetic variants analyzed were not associated with PCOS in Polish women, the INSR rs1799817 polymorphism may be linked to acne, a symptom of the disorder.

This study in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep identified two SNPs in the KRT71 gene that significantly affect wool length, with distinct expression patterns observed in hair follicles, suggesting KRT71 as a candidate gene for enhancing wool production traits.

The researchers identified a pathogenic variant in the SRD5A2 gene among siblings with 46,XY disorder of sexual development, highlighting the importance of comprehensive genetic testing in diagnosis and management.

This review highlights the importance of selecting high-quality bioassays in discovering bioactive compounds from marine sources, emphasizing their role in evaluating safety and efficacy during pharmaceutical, food supplement, and cosmetic development.

This study found that the superior growth and higher zinc uptake of wild-type barley compared to its root-hairless mutant in zinc-deficient soil is mainly due to greater root surface area from root hairs.

This article reviews genetic advances in resolving inherited ichthyoses using next generation sequencing and notes that new sequencing methods may clarify unknown types in the future.

This study reveals a high prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Africa, indicating an epidemiological shift in the region and underscoring the need for early prevention and treatment strategies.

This study reported the discovery of large-scale haplotypes (cenhaps) in human centromere regions, revealing deep genetic diversity, including introgressed Neanderthal and ancient African lineages.

This systematic review and meta-analysis reported potential risk variants for acne in genes related to inflammation and sebaceous gland function, including TNF, CYP17A1, and FST, across diverse populations.

This review discusses mechanisms of wound healing impairment in leptin-deficient murine models used for diabetic research, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for further study.

This study examined noninvasive tissue samples, including buccal swabs, hair follicles, saliva, and urine cell pellets, and found hair follicles and urine cell pellets promising for transcriptomic and clinical analyses due to their sample quality and performance in disease-relevant applications.

This review discusses using extracellular vesicles as less invasive surrogates for assessing drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters, suggesting potential advancements in precision therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a significant genetic association between the TNFα gene and alopecia areata susceptibility in the Jordanian Arab population.

A novel mutation in the SLC39A4 gene was identified in an infant with mild, incomplete acrodermatitis enteropathic symptoms, suggesting genetic testing is beneficial even without the full symptom triad.

This study found that certain genetic variations in the OPN gene may be linked to atopic dermatitis and a higher prevalence of asthma in Caucasians.

This study found that certain VDR gene polymorphisms are more prevalent in female pattern hair loss patients than in healthy controls, suggesting these polymorphisms may increase disease risk.

This study suggests that the KAP 7 gene may serve as a potential molecular marker for genetic selection to improve staple length and greasy fleece weight in Rambouillet sheep.

This study found that the FTO gene variants rs17817449 and rs1421085 were significantly associated with PCOS susceptibility, and rs8050136 was linked with hair loss and high BMI in women with PCOS in western Saudi Arabia.
