This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.

This study identified aging-related epigenetic and transcriptomic biomarkers and suggested that curcumin might target and inhibit the JUN gene, implicating potential therapeutic strategies against aging.

This study suggests that the rs2075876 variant in the AIRE gene may significantly increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the examined male population.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

This study found that certain lncRNA gene polymorphisms in HOTAIR and MALAT1 are associated with increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, potentially informing clinical applications.

This letter to the editor discusses a case of delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita linked to a new mutation in keratin 6b but presents no new research findings.

This study found that among children with 21-hydroxylase deficiency, there is a strong correlation between severe genetic variants and clinical outcomes, but the correlation weakens with milder variants, indicating the limitations of relying solely on NGS for diagnosis.

This study reported no significant association between vaspin and visfatin -4689G/T gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata in the Turkish population, although the visfatin GT genotype may pose a risk factor for the condition.

This study identified m6A-related genes, particularly IGF2BP3, as significantly up-regulated in keloid patients, potentially implicating them in the condition's molecular mechanisms and suggesting targets for therapy.

This study found that rice genotypes exhibit significant variation in root hair properties under low phosphorus conditions, with genotype DJ123 showing particularly efficient root hair growth and phosphorus uptake.

This study found that early-onset baldness in African-American men is associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and more aggressive tumors, with potential interactions involving age and smoking.

This study found that dutasteride more effectively inhibited androgen receptor signaling and reduced cell growth compared to finasteride in prostate cancer cell models, with varying sensitivities across different cell lines.

This study found that the FSHR Ser680Asn (rs6166) gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of PCOS in the examined population and could serve as a molecular biomarker for identifying risk.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

This study found that DEFB1 polymorphisms, specifically the rs1800972 CG and GG genotypes, may predict susceptibility to and severity of alopecia areata.

PCOS may have evolved as an advantage in past environments with food scarcity.

This study found that polymorphism of the SHBG gene (rs1799941) is associated with an increased risk of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Iraqi women.

This study observed that COVID-19 patients in Thailand infected with the Delta variant were more likely to develop pneumonia and certain post-infection conditions, while Omicron infections were associated with milder symptoms like sore throat and congestion.

This study reported that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 and IGFBP3 rs2854744 may increase the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in a Southeastern Iranian population.

This report describes two cases of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome highlighting genetic diversity; one patient improved with low-dose dexamethasone despite negative genetic testing, while the other is monitored with a novel NR3C1 variant.

Certain genetic variants and pathways are linked to hair loss.

This study developed new genetic prediction models for male pattern baldness with improved accuracy by utilizing a large set of markers and independent datasets, making them the most reliable available for this trait.

This study found that while genetic variants contribute minimally to predicting hair greying in a Polish population, age remains the primary predictor, underscoring the complexity of hair greying as a genetic trait.

This study identified eight mutations in five genes associated with different aspects of ichthyosis among Tunisian patients, enhancing understanding of its genetic and clinical diversity.
