This study found that genetic variation in the KRTAP21-2 gene among crossbred Merino lambs was associated with differences in wool traits, particularly mean staple length.

This study found that the CYP3A4 rs4646437 genotype was significantly associated with ALT elevation in Japanese patients undergoing asunaprevir plus daclatasvir therapy for chronic HCV infection, suggesting genotyping may help in monitoring patients safely.

This study examined wool traits in Angora rabbits using low-coverage whole genome sequencing, identifying six QTLs and a gene, FGF10, linked to fiber growth and diameter, suggesting a cost-effective approach for complex trait analysis in genomic breeding.

In this study, researchers detected all three genotypes associated with the MLPH gene's R199H polymorphism in a population of Czech pointer dogs, which is linked to coat color dilution.

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 found that variation in the ovine KRTAP27-1 gene may influence wool growth, with certain genotypes associated with higher mean staple length and greasy fleece weight in sheep.

This review found that while forensic DNA phenotyping and health applications for pigmentation genetics show potential, factors like phenotype definition and population diversity present challenges to accurate genotype-to-appearance predictions.

In this study, the rs4541843 G > A variant was found to be significantly associated with increased risk and severity of alopecia areata, as well as elevated expression of hsa-miR-182-5p, suggesting their potential as molecular markers for diagnosis and severity assessment.

This study found that specific genetic variations in the IRF2BP2 gene influence fleece structure in sheep, with one variant completely determining coat type and another significantly modifying fiber characteristics, providing valuable insights for improving fleece quality through selective breeding.

This study found no significant association between the MMP-1 gene polymorphisms rs1799750 and androgenetic alopecia in the sample population.

This study investigated genetic and epigenetic markers for prostate cancer, reporting that certain genotype combinations may influence cancer risk or protection and identifying GSTP1 promoter methylation as a strong prognostic and diagnostic marker linked to tumor aggressiveness.

In this study, no significant change in androgen receptor gene expression was found in females with recurrent spontaneous abortion, but a mutant genotype may offer some protection against the condition.

This study identifies mutations in the SRD5A3 gene as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation, impacting mental, ophthalmologic, and cerebellar functions.
