This study found multiple factors, both inherited and acquired, that may lead to bradykinin-mediated angio-oedema, proposing a new classification based on bradykinin production and catabolism imbalance.

This study reported a previously undescribed form of hereditary hypotrichosis in a family, characterized by childhood-onset hair loss, morphea, and probable autosomal dominant inheritance.

This article suggests that alopecia areata may be an early skin manifestation of hereditary hemochromatosis in individuals predisposed to autoimmunity, recommending iron status evaluation during AA diagnosis; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report and literature review discusses Marie-Unna hereditary hypotrichosis and presents no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 14-year-old patient with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex who showed significant improvement with combined platelet rich plasma injections and topical minoxidil 2%. The findings suggest that platelet rich plasma could offer new hope for treating this condition.

The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.

Researchers found a new genetic mutation causing a rare hair loss condition in the first Japanese child studied.

This review discusses causes of hair loss in cats, highlighting self-inflicted trauma due to flea allergy dermatitis, and presents no new clinical findings.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common, hereditary hair loss condition that can be slowed but not permanently reversed with available therapies.

This article reviews the history, biology, genetics, prevention, conventional treatments, and herbal alternatives for hair loss, but reports no new research findings.

The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."

This article reviews various aspects of hair and hair loss but does not report new research findings.

The first Japanese family with Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis showed hair condition improvement in a child and highlighted the risk of misdiagnosis.

Researchers found a new area on chromosome 2 linked to a genetic hair loss condition.

This abstract reviews hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, a rare genetic condition causing severe early childhood rickets, and reports no new results; effective treatment typically requires high doses of calcium to address hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Researchers found a gene mutation responsible for a rare hair loss condition.

This case report describes the first known instance of hereditary choreiform disorder associated with and aggravated by systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the need for vigilance in diagnosing co-existing autoimmune conditions.

This study reported significant short-term scalp hair regrowth and increased density in a 4-year-old with Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis following topical 5% minoxidil treatment, suggesting its potential benefit in this condition.

This study identified several genetic mutations linked to hereditary skin and hair disorders in consanguineous families from remote areas of Pakistan, enhancing understanding of the molecular basis of these conditions.

This study reports a novel missense mutation in the HR gene in a 68-year-old Hungarian woman with alopecia universalis and limb deformities, suggesting a need for further research on its role in these conditions.

This literature review reports that mutations in the SASH1 gene are linked to different pigmentation disorders, including dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria and lentiginosis. It further suggests SASH1's significant role in melanocyte processes and its potential as a target for developing treatments for these conditions.

This chapter reviews various fungal skin diseases affecting cattle but does not report new research findings; it focuses on rare, inherited, and congenital conditions like follicular dysplasia and cutaneous asthenia.

This article describes a case of dyschromatosis universalis in a young Saudi Arabian girl, discussing similar cases reported outside the Far East where the condition was initially identified, but provides no new research findings.

This case study reports on a rare form of vitamin D resistant rickets in a 37-year-old male, highlighting the condition's clinical features and the necessity for a thorough understanding of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in the diagnosis and management of metabolic bone diseases.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

This review discusses genetic conditions linked to complete scalp alopecia in children, identifying six genetic causes, but reports no new clinical results.
