Fox Fordyce disease can occur in prepubertal girls and may be underdiagnosed.

Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.

The FOXN1 gene is crucial for developing immune cells and preventing immune disorders.

Researchers found a new mutation in the EDA gene that likely causes missing teeth and mild skin symptoms in one family.

The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.

The glucocorticoid receptor helps protect skin from tumors and other issues.

The chapter explains common scalp conditions, including infections, infestations, and tumors.

Mutations in the RBPJ gene cause Adams-Oliver Syndrome.

Notch signaling disruptions can cause various skin diseases.

Bovines can have rare inherited skin diseases with specific symptoms like hair loss, fragile skin, and abnormal porphyrin buildup.

The most common cause of hair loss in children is tinea capitis, followed by alopecia areata and telogen effluvium.

Dermatoscopy is useful for identifying different hair and scalp conditions and can reduce the need for biopsies.

Trichoscopy is good for diagnosing and monitoring hair and scalp problems in children but needs more research for certain conditions.

The document concludes that accurate diagnosis and understanding the type of hair disorder are crucial for treating hair loss in children.

Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing various skin, hair, and nail disorders and can reduce the need for biopsies.

Triangular temporal alopecia is a benign hair loss pattern best diagnosed with dermoscopy, with limited treatment options like surgery and hair transplantation.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia causes hair loss along the frontal hairline, mainly in postmenopausal women, and needs better treatments.

Some people's hair loss is caused by multiple factors, with the most common being a mix of AGA and CCCA.

The document concludes that surgery is a preferred treatment for cicatricial alopecia, with the method chosen based on individual factors and may require multiple sessions and careful postoperative care.

Most cases of Temporal Triangular Alopecia are found in early childhood and may be related to genetic conditions.

Amenorrhea, or the absence of periods, should be evaluated by age 15 or within five years of early breast development, and is most commonly caused by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic amenorrhea.

About 12% of children in Kota, Rajasthan, experience hair loss, mainly due to fungal infections, with early treatment advised to prevent worsening.

A 19-year-old male with delayed puberty was successfully treated for a condition that prevents normal hormone production.

A woman with a rare hormone resistance condition also had missing teeth and hair loss, which might be new symptoms of her genetic disorder.

The document concludes that identifying the cause of amenorrhea is crucial for proper treatment.

Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.

Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.

Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.
