This study found that greater root surface area due to root hairs contributed to better growth and zinc uptake of wild-type barley compared to its root-hairless mutant in zinc-deficient soil.

This study found that specific genetic variants of the KAP22-1 gene in Egyptian sheep breeds were significantly associated with wool traits like crimp, staple length, kemp score, and greasy color grade, suggesting their potential use in breeding programs.

This study suggests that low phosphorus and ethylene may influence root hair density through separate pathways, with ethylene manipulation affecting root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.

In this study, the researchers observed that the evolution of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, which causes tan spot in Australian mungbeans, is driven by clonal expansion from existing genetic variations, emphasizing the need for informed breeding strategies to manage resistance against this pathogen.

This study assessed breeding value estimation methods for Korean Sapsaree dogs, finding varied accuracy across BLUP approaches and identifying significant genomic regions affecting traits like body height and hair length. The researchers suggest these findings can enhance breeding strategies for this culturally significant breed.

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 narrative review and case report identified a rare association between erythema nodosum and kerion caused by *Trichophyton mentagrophytes*, with successful treatment using antifungals and corticosteroids.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study found that a high percentage of pediatric sickle cell disease patients have parents from medium-high socioeconomic status, indicating that the educational background of parents did not influence the disease's prevalence.

This research suggests that autism's genetic links are partially related to factors influencing physiological sex differences, with rare variants interacting with placental sex differences and common variants affecting steroid-related traits.

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.

This study found that the Msx2 gene may regulate goose feather follicle development by influencing cell viability and gene expression, with potential implications for improving down production.

This study found that Malassezia pachydermatis was present on both lesion and healthy skin in a California sea lion, with significantly more colonies on the lesion site.

This study found no association between the -866G/A polymorphism in the UCP2 gene and the development of polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study, researchers found two non-synonymous SNPs in the TERT gene associated with mean wool staple strength in sheep, suggesting TERT as a potential candidate gene for improving wool traits.

This study used developing mouse hair follicles to explore early epithelial bud formation, finding that the Rho GTPase regulator ARHGEF3 plays a crucial role in regulating cell fate and cadherin patterning, with knockouts showing disrupted morphology and increased straight hair follicle growth.

This study found that using a pharmacogenetic panel with 26 SNPs can improve treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia, as overall response rates to minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride were high, and specific genetic markers predicted poor responses to these drugs.

This source reports that a comprehensive review of LSS gene variant phenotypes enhances understanding of congenital hypotrichosis 14 and could guide more precise genetic counseling and future research into disease mechanisms and potential therapies.

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 abstract discusses the challenges of diagnosing and managing PCOS, highlighting that individualized management, lifestyle modifications, and medical treatments such as contraceptives and metformin are recommended to address hormonal imbalances and co-morbidities.

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 study found that in sheep, the microRNA oar-miR-377 regulates hair follicle development by targeting the SLC24A2 gene, and identified a genetic variation associated with wool quality, suggesting potential markers for breeding.

This study found that CRP levels were elevated in alopecia areata patients, with an inverse linear association between serum vitamin D and CRP levels specifically noted in ophiasis AA.

This study reported three cases of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum canis in a household, linked to a domestic cat, where genetic analysis suggested a familial transmission route.

This review discussed the cutaneous manifestations of APECED, highlighting chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo, while emphasizing the importance of early detection and monitoring for accurate diagnosis and patient care in various populations.

This study identified that certain genetic polymorphisms in IL-16 are associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata in an Iraqi population.

This study concluded that STK11 gene polymorphisms were not predictive of metformin response in women with PCOS, though they may influence alopecia and hirsutism.

In this study, NKG2D polymorphism was not linked to increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus among Egyptian patients living in the Suez Canal area.

This study found that in mice, inactivating beta-catenin in the dermal papilla reduces hair follicle progenitor proliferation and disrupts the hair cycle.

This study found that overexpression of miR-214 in keratinocytes inhibits hair follicle development and cycling by targeting β-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway.
