This study found that rare germline pathogenic variants in BRCA2, BRCA1, and ATM are associated with increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer.

This study reports a unique case of coinheritance of BRCA2 and CYLD pathogenic variants in a man with metastatic malignant cylindroma, suggesting that recognizing such genetic profiles in rare conditions can provide new treatment options, including the potential use of therapies targeting BRCA deficiency.

This study presented cases where potentially significant germline variants were unexpectedly found during genomic profiling for myeloid malignancies, discussing the challenges in genetic counseling and management, especially when variants don't match the patient's condition.

This study found that patients with the MITF p.E318K variant are more likely to develop multiple primary melanomas and dysplastic nevi with uncommon dermoscopic patterns compared to non-carriers.

In this case report, half-siblings with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma were found to have a susceptibility to Trichophyton rubrum infection, successfully treated with oral terbinafine.

This study reports a unique case of common variable immunodeficiency with autoimmunity linked to a heterozygous S250C variant in the autoimmune regulator gene, suggesting a potential molecular basis for this combination.

This study identified specific germline and somatic mutations in the Phospholipase C Delta 1 gene as high-risk factors for developing hereditary trichilemmal cysts, involving a monoallelic two-hit mechanism.

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.

In this study, a genetic analysis identified a pathogenic variant in the ALOXE3 gene associated with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and the patient's response to antifungal treatment highlights the risk of cutaneous fungal infections.

A JAK1 variant causes hair loss, skin issues, and thyroid disease, but treatment with a specific inhibitor can help.

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 study reports that compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the HEPHL1 gene in a child were associated with abnormal hair and cognitive issues, linking altered ferroxidase activity to hair disorders.

In this case report, researchers diagnosed a 12-year-old girl with a nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn, characterized by a yellowish-pink plaque on the scalp and a genetic variant, following previous misdiagnosis as alopecia areata.

This study identified a novel bi-allelic missense variant in the DSC3 gene linked to severe Hypotrichosis with Recurrent Skin Vesicles in a Saudi child, supporting its role in the condition.

This review discusses three newly identified forms of epidermolysis bullosa related to mutations in DST-e, EXPH5, and ITGA3, offering insights into their genetic and clinical characteristics but reports no new clinical results.

This study found genetic variations, including de novo variants and copy number variations, that may be associated with phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins with various clinical conditions.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

Blond hair in Solomon Islanders is due to a unique genetic variant, not European ancestry.

This review discusses sex differences in immune response to respiratory viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, and highlights that hormones like estrogen may provide females with better protection, but it reports no new results.

This review outlines the clinical and histopathological features that aid in classifying tumors arising from the folliculosebaceous apparatus and reports no new research results.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that twins with a novel de novo nonsense variant in HRAS exhibited distinctive features, including neuropsychiatric symptoms, potentially indicating a wider clinical spectrum for conditions known as RASopathies.

This article reviews the genetic foundations of keratins in maintaining epithelial tissue integrity and links specific keratin variants to diverse ichthyosis forms, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that specific gene upregulations and mutations in hidradenitis suppurativa skin support the role of inflammation, altered epithelial differentiation, and metabolism dysregulation in the disease's pathogenesis.

In this case report, a three-generation family with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome showed a heterozygous PTCH1 splice-donor variant associated with the disease, and two affected relatives benefited from individualized, side-effect-guided dosing of the drug sonidegib, experiencing regression of basal cell carcinoma lesions.

This study successfully established Tsc2-deficient embryonic stem cells from Eker rats and found these cells have distinct gene expression compared to non-mutant cells, which could help identify new therapeutic targets for TSC-related pathogenesis.

This study observed that numerical chromosomal aberrations were more common in men with severe male factor infertility and azoospermia compared to those with other sperm quality issues, while chromosomal translocations were significantly associated with oligoasthenozoospermia, highlighting important genetic counseling considerations.

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.
