In this case report, a 46-year-old woman initially diagnosed with 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia was later identified as having 3β-HSD2 deficiency after further investigation, highlighting the need for awareness of rarer CAH forms to prevent delayed diagnosis and insufficient treatment.

Zeb2 is crucial for nerve repair by controlling Schwann cell function.

This study found that BBS7 is important for Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, which may be crucial for maintaining periodontal ligament homeostasis in occlusal hypofunction.

This study identified a homozygous frameshift mutation in the HOXC13 gene associated with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a consanguineous Syrian family, suggesting crucial roles for HOXC13 in hair and nail development.

CaBP1 and 2 are necessary for maintaining calcium currents and hearing in inner ear cells.

In this study, prenatal ultrasonography was found to be a valuable tool for screening ectodermal dysplasia during pregnancy, and a new EDA gene variant associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia was identified, aiding in more accurate diagnoses and reproductive decision-making.

This study found that hemoglobin α is upregulated in epidermal keratinocytes after UV exposure and may function as an antioxidant, particularly for hair follicle stem cells.

This study identified the Hairless (Hr) gene-encoded protein as a corepressor that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin and hair by regulating epithelial stem cell differentiation and gene expression via chromatin remodeling, which may impact both development and disease.

In this case study, an 8-day-old neonate with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency showed dramatic improvement in lactic acidosis and overall clinical condition following biotin mega-dose therapy, highlighting the importance of early genetic testing and timely treatment in such metabolic disorders.

This study found that Epstein-Barr virus infection upregulated a truncated variant of human basic hair keratin 1 (hHb1-ΔN) in gastric carcinoma cell lines, suggesting a possible link to carcinoma differentiation.

This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining PDL homeostasis by supporting Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, with occlusal hypofunction leading to its downregulation and associated tissue changes.

This study identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the hHb3 gene associated with monilethrix, highlighting its role in this hair disorder.

This letter to the editor discusses a case of delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita linked to a new mutation in keratin 6b but presents no new research findings.

This study found that BBS7 expression is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling and periodontal ligament homeostasis in occlusal hypofunctional conditions.

This study suggests that the harlequin ichthyosis mouse model closely resembles human type 2 harlequin ichthyosis, indicating its potential as a useful model for studying the human condition.

This study found that downregulation of BBS7 in periodontal ligament cells was associated with reduced Sonic hedgehog signaling, which plays a crucial role in maintaining PDL homeostasis.

This study found that BBS7 expression is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity and periodontal ligament homeostasis, suggesting its downregulation in occlusal hypofunction affects cell migration and angiogenesis.

This study found that increased mRNA expression of the Ectodysplasin-A2-Receptor, observed across multiple species and tissues, may exacerbate inflammation during aging, suggesting potential benefits of blocking EDA2R/EDA-A2 signaling.

In this study, a novel heterozygous transition mutation in the KRT86 gene was identified, which may be pathogenic for monilethrix in a Chinese family.
