This study proposes a new test for genome-wide association studies that incorporates Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium into SNP analysis, demonstrating improved power and interpretability over traditional methods, as evidenced by simulations and an alopecia study dataset.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This study identified that patients with compound heterozygous mutations in FOXN1 exhibited severe T-cell lymphopenia but retained normal hair and nail development, indicating a distinct clinical phenotype from classic FOXN1 cases.

This study suggests that the hairless gene encodes a nuclear factor important for hair follicle integrity, and its absence leads to hair follicle loss and defects in tissue development.

This study identified a human sequence likely coding for a new ultra-high sulphur protein, which may aid in understanding hair differentiation and the molecular basis of human trichothiodystrophy.

The researchers reported two brothers with a new variant of X-linked trichothiodystrophy associated with an RNF113A gene mutation, highlighting features such as intellectual disability and growth failure, but without previously reported endocrinological or genital abnormalities, underlining the importance of genetic counseling for such variants.

This review discusses the antimicrobial and protective effects of hesperidin and hesperetin against various toxicities, with potential mechanisms explored, but it reports no new research findings.

This announcement from Redfield Corporation introduces the first disposable linear slot punches for hair restoration surgery, with sharpness guaranteed for up to 500 recipient sites.

This case report highlights how a thorough history and examination led to the diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis in a patient initially suspected to have diverticulosis, improving symptoms with phlebotomy treatment.

This review discusses the genetic origins of autosomal recessive woolly hair with hypotrichosis and reports no clinical results; it highlights the link to homozygous variants in the K25 keratin gene.

This case report identifies a novel LIPH gene mutation linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese boy, expanding the spectrum of known mutations associated with this condition.

This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

This case report identifies a novel nonsense mutation in the CDH3 gene associated with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy.

This case report illustrates how SNP array testing helped identify a DCAF17 mutation linked to Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in consanguineous Qatari siblings with shared features including alopecia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

This study identified a novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair, contributing to understanding the genetic basis of this condition.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.

This study reports that hair follicle stem cells, termed HAP stem cells, can differentiate into neuronal and glial cells, enhancing nerve repair and locomotor recovery after injury.

In this study, a Chinese Han family with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets was found to have a homozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, and the affected individual uniquely responded well to treatment with oral calcium and low-dose calcitriol.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

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 study identified a novel locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex on chromosome 13q12.12~12.3 in a four-generation Chinese family.

This study identified a novel V26M mutation in the vitamin D receptor as the cause of hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets in a patient, characterized by severe rickets and an unusual pattern of alopecia.

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.

A specific gene mutation (Y449H in K10) was found in a patient with severe skin disorder.

In this study, researchers created a comprehensive transcriptome map of human hair follicle compartments, identifying compartment-specific genes and providing a resource for potential therapeutic interventions.

This case report describes a 32-month-old girl with a newly identified pediatric disorder linked to a de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene, mirroring symptoms seen in a transgenic mouse model.
