In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This study found that specific genetic variants in the CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 genes were associated with severe acne vulgaris among Han Chinese, particularly in male patients.

In this study, certain genetic variations in the ESR1 and ESR2 genes were strongly associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and related metabolic issues in Tunisian women.

In this study, researchers identified an autosomal dominant mutation (E402K) in exon 7 of the KRT86 gene as a cause of Monilethrix in a large family from Turkey.

This study found no significant genetic association between the 5α-reductase enzyme genes and male pattern baldness, suggesting a polygenic etiology rather than simple inheritance.

This study found that expression and variants of the KRT84 gene are associated with important wool traits in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep, suggesting its potential use as a genetic marker for wool trait selection.

This study reports a strong association between the MICA locus, specifically the MICA∗3-DR∗6-DQ6 haplotype, and Alopecia Areata in families.

This study found that certain gene polymorphisms in keratin 27 and ELOVL4 are linked to improved cashmere fineness and production traits in Liaoning cashmere goats.

This study found six new genetic factors linked to early-onset androgenetic alopecia and its association with increased risk of Parkinson's disease and decreased fertility.

This study found that both desmoglein-specific and non-desmoglein autoantibodies may play active roles in Pemphigus vulgaris pathogenesis, with HLA genetics influencing autoimmune specificity.

This study found that specific SNPs in the CXCL1 and CXCL2 genes may be associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population.

This study explored the genetic basis of fiber diameter in alpacas, identifying candidate genomic regions including four significant areas on VPA6, VPA9, VPA29, and an unassigned scaffold, using whole genome association analysis and a custom SNP microarray.

In this study, analysis of over 800 Iranian patients with epidermolysis bullosa identified 15 with pathogenic PLEC variants, highlighting a correlation between variant locations and phenotypic manifestations of plectinopathies.

This review examines the genetic challenges in improving wool and cashmere fibers, emphasizing the need for further research on wool keratins and keratin-associated proteins to enhance fiber characteristics.

This study found that specific SNPs in the sheep FAT1 gene are significantly associated with wool quality traits, suggesting potential markers for improving wool crimp, fibre length, and fibre diameter in breeding.

Haplogroup X found in Altaian population supports Amerindian origin.

This study reported that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 and IGFBP3 rs2854744 may increase the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in a Southeastern Iranian population.

In this study, researchers found that two dominant haplotypes in the EDA2R/AR intergenic region have likely been shaped by demographic changes and selection during human evolution, particularly notable in African and non-African populations.

This study found that faster algorithms for inferring ancestry in genomic data can better capture historical and functional insights into genome variation than traditional methods in large datasets like the UK Biobank.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

The researchers reported that keratin 33A is a structural protein specific to goat cashmere hair, with increased winter expression in high-cashmere-producing breeds.

This study found that gene-regulatory interactions among parental alleles contribute significantly to heterosis in early stages of maize development, with many differentially expressed genes showing non-additive expression in hybrids.

This study found that individuals in this Egyptian cohort carrying the leucine (L) allele of the 5-α reductase type II enzyme had a higher risk of developing androgenetic alopecia, which may be associated with oxidative stress.

This study identified a specific genetic variant in the CCHCR1 gene that may contribute to alopecia areata through impaired keratinization, suggesting an alternative mechanism beyond autoimmune causes.
