A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This study identified a new heterozygous mutation in the connexin 26 gene (c.263C>T; p.Ala88Val) in a premature neonate with KID syndrome, who later died from complications.

This research found that variations in the KRTAP gene family are likely responsible for the diverse hair phenotypes seen among mammals, influenced by gene repertoire differences, expression, and evolutionary factors.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

This study found that KROX20 is crucial for hair follicle development and epidermal homeostasis, as its deletion in skin epithelial cells led to hair loss and increased epidermal thickness.

This study presents evidence that keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome is caused by a mutation in the connexin 26 gene, expanding the gene's known involvement in various disorders.

The document cannot be summarized as it is not provided or is unclear.

This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found a rare germline mutation in the Birt–Hogg–Dubé gene in a Japanese patient with renal cell carcinoma, suggesting distinct biological features and challenging current renal tumor classifications.

This review highlights the diverse potential medicinal properties of kavalactones from Alpinia zerumbet, which include antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory activities, among others, and suggests fields for further research.

This case study suggests that patients with acquired progressive kinking of the hair may benefit from finasteride treatment due to an increased risk of developing androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

This study found that both epithelial and hair keratins are expressed in beard hair medulla cells, exhibiting unique patterns and interactions distinct from other hair follicle and epithelial cells.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.

This study found that the methylation level at CpG III site 4 of the KRT17 gene promoter significantly influences wool production in Angora rabbits, suggesting its potential as an epigenetic marker for breeding high wool yield.

This study showed that a 2-kilobase upstream region of the mouse keratin 17 gene enables targeted GFP expression in major epithelial appendages of transgenic mice, indicating sonic hedgehog's involvement in its regulation.

This review discusses the mechanisms of keratin 17 regulation in diseases such as psoriasis and cancers but presents no new experimental findings, calling for further exploration of anti-K17 therapies.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes woolly hair by affecting hair texture.

This study found that the binding and release of BMP-2 from kerateine biomaterials are significantly influenced by pH and salt concentration, highlighting the potential for developing improved bone repair systems.

In this retrospective study, combining TACE with Donafenib showed promising results as a first-line treatment for Chinese patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, yielding a median progression-free survival of 12.8 months and a one-year overall survival rate of 87.5%, along with a favorable safety profile.

In this study, researchers found that contrary to expectations, keratin 10 domains did not reduce cell proliferation and instead increased tumor development in genetically modified mice.

This case report describes a 70-year-old kidney transplant recipient who developed a keratoacanthoma near an arteriovenous fistula after returning to hemodialysis and stopping immunosuppression.

This study reported that compounds isolated from Alpinia zerumbet significantly promoted hair cell growth and exhibited anticancer activity in cell cultures, suggesting potential as treatments for alopecia and cancer.

This study found that miR-432 inhibits KRT83 expression, revealing potential molecular mechanisms for the formation of curly fleece in Tan sheep and suggesting implications for understanding curly hair formation in humans.

This study reports that the monoclonal antibody BKN-1 specifically stained basal cell epithelioma cells and certain normal skin structures, indicating a similarity in keratin expression between the tumor and follicular epithelium below the isthmus portion.

This study in mice found that WWP2 facilitates odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation by targeting PTEN for degradation, thereby enhancing KLF5 activity, which may suggest its crucial role in dental development.
