In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

This study suggests that new cells are incorporated into the dermal papilla during the early anagen phase of the hair cycle, which may influence hair growth consistency and follicle size changes.

This case report documents a reversible instance of complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis) in a patient undergoing chronic hepatitis C treatment with pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin, with hair regrowth observed within three months after therapy completion.

This study suggests that the AR/EDA2R locus may contribute to early-onset female pattern hair loss, but no association was found with the 20p11 locus.

This case report describes a male patient with aromatase deficiency, revealing that a c.628G>A mutation can lead to varied clinical features, such as low bone mass and normal metabolic profiles.

This review discusses the association between WNT10A gene variants and various ectodermal disorders, highlighting their clinical relevance in dermatology and dentistry, but reports no new findings.

This study found statistically significant patterns in hair morphology and ultrastructure linked to biogeographic ancestry among European, African, and East Asian populations.

This study reported two cases of alopecia universalis triggered by PEG-interferon and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C, with hair regrowth observed after therapy completion or withdrawal.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride act as slow, time-dependent inhibitors of steroid 5α-reductase type II, with dutasteride being more efficient, influenced by the enzyme's genetic variants.

This study found that diagnosing nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in women based solely on serum 17OHP measurements can lead to false positives, suggesting the need for urinary steroid profiles and genetic testing for confirmation.

This study suggests that NBCCS and BFHS may be the same genetic condition, which could help improve identification and management of misdiagnosed cases with specific surveillance strategies.

This study confirms the presence of large structural variations in the genome of Nellore cattle, which may contribute to their environmental adaptation to tropical regions.

This report describes a case where a sex reassignment patient on estrogen therapy experienced complete hair regrowth on a previously fully alopecic scalp.

This study found no significant association between selected gene variants and female pattern hair loss, suggesting these genes might not be involved in its development.

This review discusses recent genetic findings on hormonal signaling pathways in androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new study results but highlighting the need for further investigation.

This study found that combining 5-alpha reductase inhibitors with alpha-blockers provided the best symptomatic relief and reduced the risk of clinical progression for BPH, while PDE5 inhibitors could offset sexual side effects.

This study found that transdermal DHT treatment increased penile length in boys with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, but post-pubertal growth was limited and carried potential prostate complications.

This study found no improvement in male-pattern hair loss after six months of using laser hair-comb therapy in two men.

This study observed phenotypic diversity in hair loss among Japanese individuals homozygous for the LIPH c.736T>A mutation and suggests that differences in hair thickness may contribute to varying severities.

This case report describes a girl in China with biotinidase deficiency confirmed by genetic mutations, whose skin and hair symptoms improved with biotin therapy.

This case study reports the first instance of irreversible alopecia universalis occurring during pegylated interferon-ribavirin therapy in a man with hepatitis C infection, without evidence of immunological or thyroid disorders.

This case report describes a rare instance of alopecia universalis occurring eight weeks after discontinuing pegylated interferon α and ribavirin therapy, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare providers.

In this article, the authors reviewed essential terminology and recommendations for creating a welcoming healthcare environment for transgender patients and providing gender-affirming therapy, emphasizing the unique health needs and disparities faced by this population.

This chapter reviews the biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and therapeutic effects of testosterone and related androgens, but reports no new research findings.

This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the vertex/occiput ratios of hair density and diameter in prepubertal children may serve as reference values to identify androgenetic alopecia with high probability.

This study observed that among Iranian patients with rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate treatment was discontinued or reduced in nearly half of the cases due to side effects such as nausea, flu-like symptoms, hepatotoxicity, and hair loss, with hepatotoxicity linked to higher doses and longer treatment duration.

This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.

This article discusses the MendelVar webserver, which integrates Mendelian disease data with GWAS findings to prioritize candidate genes for complex traits and reports no new experimental results.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.
