This case report observed that after 6 months of treatment with topical cetirizine and oral vitamin D, hair density and quality improved in three girls with congenital hypotrichosis due to ectodermal dysplasia.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.

This study reports that hypotrichosis congenita in Hereford cattle is associated with a KRT71 mutation, leading to color dilution follicular dysplasia.

This study identified a novel bi-allelic missense variant in the DSC3 gene linked to severe Hypotrichosis with Recurrent Skin Vesicles in a Saudi child, supporting its role in the condition.

This case study reports that a heterozygous missense GJA1 mutation, p.Gly138Ser, in a 2-year-old boy with oculodentodigital syndrome primarily resulted in syndactyly, fifth finger hypoplasia, and hypotrichosis, without neurological or craniofacial abnormalities.

Minoxidil solution applied twice daily improved hair growth in patients with Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis due to LIPH gene issues, with mild side effects.

This review explores the role of Foxn1 in mammalian skin biology, discussing its influence on hair follicle function and the potential for further research to enhance understanding of epithelial differentiation.

Latanoprost eye drops caused excessive cheek hair growth and eyelash whitening in a woman.

Bimatoprost can cause longer, thicker, darker eyelashes and eyebrows.

This study identified five mutations in the gene LSS in individuals with unexplained hypotrichosis simplex, highlighting a potential role of mislocalized LSS proteins in disrupting hair follicle biology.

A new mutation in the HR gene causes hair loss in a specific family.

This study observed that congenital hypotrichosis in crossbred cattle is linked to short, curly, dilute-color hair, potentially due to color dilution mutants in European breeds.

Applying minoxidil can help improve hair growth in people with hair loss caused by LIPH gene mutations.

This study identified a novel locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex on chromosome 13q12.12~12.3 in a four-generation Chinese family.

This case study reported a neonate of Indian descent with localized hypotrichosis type 1 due to a likely pathogenic deletion in the DSG4 gene, marking the first such case from India.

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

This study identified a single autosomal recessive gene responsible for hypotrichosis in a mutant rabbit strain, affecting hair growth and causing epidermal and hair follicle abnormalities.

This study concluded that specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene significantly alter its protein structure, affecting interactions and contributing to the development of congenital hypertrichosis.

In this study, researchers linked defects in U2HR, an inhibitory region in the HR gene, to Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis, suggesting a mechanism for controlling hair growth and addressing hair loss.

This study reports a mutation in the U2HR gene causing Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis in a Turkish family and notes eyebrow loss as a diagnostic clue.

This case report describes a new family with autosomal recessive hypotrichosis simplex with woolly hair, suggesting the disorder may be underreported due to misdiagnosis.

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

This study applied semantic text-mining to identify phenotypes linked to over 6,000 diseases, demonstrating that these phenotypes can accurately identify known disease-associated genes, creating a human disease network based on phenotypic similarity.

This article discusses the MendelVar webserver, which integrates Mendelian disease data with GWAS findings to prioritize candidate genes for complex traits and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

This study found that men with early androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower total antioxidant capacity compared to healthy age-matched controls.

This study found that simultaneously inhibiting both KLK5 and KLK7 proteases completely rescued skin barrier defects in a mouse model of Netherton syndrome, suggesting both should be therapeutic targets.

This study found that FGF5-/- rabbits exhibited a significant long hair phenotype by prolonging the anagen phase, suggesting FGF5 acts as a negative regulator of hair growth.

This study found that a genetic deletion causing truncated desmoglein 3 protein in mice led to severe pathologies, including cyclic hair loss and immunodeficiency, suggesting possible implications for human desmosome-related diseases.

This review from JAAD Reviews provides a comprehensive overview of hypertrichosis, discussing its diagnosis, treatment options like topical and laser therapies, and special psychosocial considerations for pediatric patients to better support clinicians and researchers in managing this condition.
