KAP9.2 and Hoxc13 genes are important for cashmere growth and vary in activity during different stages.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

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 article reviews extensive genetic polymorphisms in the keratin-associated proteins of human hair, indicating complexity but reporting no new clinical results and calls for further research on their potential impact on hair structure.

This article expresses the author's enthusiasm and anticipation for chairing the 2017 Surgical Assistants Program and sharing expertise in hair restoration; it reports no new research findings.

This study found that mice genetically modified to overexpress the serine protease inhibitor hurpin showed reduced UV-induced apoptosis but increased susceptibility to skin cancer after chemical carcinogenesis.

Androgen lowering medications don't significantly change HCV-related liver cancer risk in men.

This study highlights the potential role of the CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 genes in severe acne vulgaris among Han Chinese, especially males.

This study found that human placenta hydrolysate effectively inhibited atopic dermatitis development in stimulated human cells and a mouse model, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for related skin diseases.

This article discusses the use of a high-magnification digital video microscope for diagnosing and treating androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

This study found that the catalytically inactive serine protease CAP1/Prss8 can still induce skin disorders in mice and is subject to inhibition by nexin-1, independent of its catalytic activity.

In this study, a transgenic mouse model suggested that suppressing the expression of the HGPS mutation may reverse disease symptoms, including skin abnormalities, supporting the potential for treatment development.

In this case study from King Fahad University Hospital, an 11-month-old Saudi boy with a history of short, non-growing hair was diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, attributed to a homozygous mutation in the LIPH gene.

This study generated a transcriptomic map of human hair follicles, identifying compartment-specific gene expression profiles that can aid in developing targeted therapies for hair follicle disorders.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis: one resistant to local iodine treatment after partial improvement, and another cured with the same treatment, in African American and Caucasian children, respectively.

This study suggests that measuring scalp hair 17-hydroxyprogesterone and androstenedione concentrations can be a promising tool for monitoring treatment in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study observed four consanguineous families with congenital atrichia with papular lesions and identified three novel mutations in the hairless gene, which may contribute to the disorder.

This case report details two consanguineous patients with cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy, both having the same HTRA1 gene mutation, but exhibiting different clinical presentations, including one with epileptic seizures and lobar hemorrhages—previously undocumented in this condition.

In this study, two novel clusters of keratin-associated protein genes on human chromosome 11 were analyzed, suggesting their products are crucial for hair formation due to preferential expression in hair roots.

This study found that children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had elevated epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, left ventricular mass, and mitral deceleration time.

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 found that breast carcinomas ectopically express a truncated form of hHb1 mRNA, which is associated with epithelial cell transformation.

In this study, cyproterone acetate treatment in hirsute women resulted in a 19% reduction in hair growth rate and a 33% improvement in physician-rated hirsutism scores.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, molecular genetics, and management of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, with no new clinical findings reported.

This study identified a domain on human chromosome 21q22.1 containing various high glycine-tyrosine and high sulfur keratin-associated protein genes, revealing their diverse expression in hair-forming cells.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This study found that AHCC significantly reduced alopecia caused by Ara-C in neonatal rats and improved liver function affected by 6-MP and MTX in mice.

This study found that the heat shock cognate protein Hsc70 was differentially expressed by dihydrotestosterone treatment in SV40-transformed dermal papilla cells, suggesting its involvement in androgen action on these cells.
