This article reviews common hair-care practices among African American patients and discusses how these practices relate to hair and scalp disorders, without presenting new clinical research.

This review summarizes current genetic knowledge of alopecia areata and provides a theoretical framework for future genetic mapping studies, but reports no new results.

This study did not find any correlation or linkage disequilibrium between androgen receptor gene CAG/GGC haplotypes and androgenetic alopecia in Mexican brothers.

This study explores the Ayurvedic concept of Akala Palitya, or premature greying, noting that its incidence is rising due to modern lifestyle changes and environmental factors, particularly in tropical and developing countries.

In this narrative review, researchers evaluated existing literature on the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that while no curative treatment exists, clinical improvements can be achieved through personalized and combined therapy approaches.

This paper emphasizes the significant role of millets in promoting environmental sustainability, nutritional security, and economic viability for Indian farmers, while also highlighting the need to increase millet consumption in India to address changing dietary preferences and lack of awareness.

Blond hair in Solomon Islanders is due to a unique genetic variant, not European ancestry.

This paper discusses key mechanisms of androgen metabolism in androgenetic alopecia and reports the effectiveness of treatments like oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, highlighting the limited success rate due to factors like follicular inflammation.

This review discusses how women with PCOS have an increased risk of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic features regardless of body fat, and calls for targeted prevention and management strategies.

The AUTS2 gene is linked to neurological disorders and may affect human brain development and cognition.

In their study, Tim Spector and colleagues identified a new genetic association at chromosome 20p11.22 with male-pattern baldness, confirmed by the increased risk when combined with a known androgen receptor gene variant.

This study reported that vitiligo patients in Turkey had a high prevalence of associated autoimmune diseases and auditory problems, suggesting vitiligo may be part of a systemic autoimmune process.

In this study, genetic variation in the CYP19A1 gene, particularly the common rs4646 C allele, was associated with an increased risk of female pattern hair loss, especially in women under 40.

This study found that oral finasteride, at a dosage of 2.5 mg/day or more, may improve hair growth and appearance in postmenopausal women with pattern hair loss, without adverse effects.

This study identified 63 genetic loci associated with male-pattern baldness, uncovering genes and pathways that may help develop treatments and suggesting its connection to other human conditions.

In this study, topical CUR61414 was effective in inhibiting basal cell carcinomas in mice, but no clinical activity was observed in human trials.

This review discusses hormonal influences on hair growth and suggests that understanding hormone-gene interactions may improve treatment of hirsutism and alopecia, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that men with a paternal history of hair loss were significantly more likely to experience hair loss themselves.

This genome-wide association study identified 20 genetic signals at 15 risk loci related to severe acne, revealing new insights into its genetic predisposition, particularly affecting skin structure and maintenance.

This study suggests that daughters of women with PCOS may have altered androgen metabolism in early childhood, with increased 5α-reductase activity potentially contributing to PCOS development.

This review discusses genetic factors contributing to susceptibility and outcomes in COVID-19, including ACE, ACE2, TMPRSS2 variants, HLA genotype, and ABO blood group, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the use of tofacitinib as a treatment for plaque psoriasis, highlighting its efficacy and safety in clinical trials, but notes unresolved questions regarding long-term safety.

This study found that a genetic model using SNPs can predict early-onset male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, which may assist in decisions about interventions.

This study describes the otolaryngologic manifestations and multidisciplinary management strategies for 12 patients with ectodermal dysplasia, emphasizing the importance of early recognition for effective treatment.

This study identified four new genetic loci associated with acne risk and highlighted key pathways involved in its genetic predisposition, potentially explaining 9.4% of acne's phenotypic variance.

This study found that certain gene sets, including those involved in ligand-gated ion channel signaling and cell adhesion, are associated with Tourette syndrome, suggesting a potential neurobiological basis for the disorder.

This study found that the VEGF +405G/C polymorphism may be an inheritable risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in south Indian women.

This article reviews common causes of hair loss, noting that a well-directed history and examination are often sufficient for diagnosis, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses dermatological issues in llamas, detailing common findings, parasites, and disorders, but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for recognizing normal skin variations and discusses potential treatments like zinc therapy for certain conditions.

In this study, researchers identified a novel KRT74 gene mutation associated with autosomal recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a Pakistani family, expanding the known genetic causes of the disorder.
