This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

In this study, injecting chimeric RNA–DNA oligonucleotides into mice skin caused a temporary mutation in keratin 17, altering hair morphology, but the mutation was transient due to genetic compensation or cell replacement.

The researchers found that HOXC13 regulates different keratin proteins in a mixed manner, with certain SNPs impeding this regulation, while also demonstrating negative-feedback by HOXC13 and positive regulation by LEF1 and melatonin on the HOXC13 promoter.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study mapped a spontaneous mouse hair mutation, "hague," to keratin genes on chromosome 15 but found no gene mutations in hague mice.

This study found that the hair interior defect in AKR/J mice is linked to a mutation in the Soat1 gene, which disrupts SOAT1 protein expression and affects lipid metabolism critical for normal hair formation.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.

This study found that the Dun camouflage color in horses is due to TBX3 expression, which causes uneven pigment deposition, whereas non-dun coat colors result from regulatory mutations affecting TBX3 expression.

This study found that mutant cells in hair follicles can be tolerated or eliminated by surrounding normal tissue, suggesting the potential for wild-type cells to counteract oncogenic mutations.

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

This article discusses a novel mutation in the FERMT1 gene identified in a Spanish family with Kindler’s syndrome but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that some patients with homozygous c.736T>A mutation in LIPH may have mild hypotrichosis with long hairs in adulthood.

Genetic testing for hairless gene mutations is crucial to correctly diagnose and treat atrichia with papular lesions.

This report describes a novel AR gene mutation in a female patient, contributing to androgen insensitivity syndrome, and emphasizes its potential impact on genetic counseling.

In this study, a novel mutation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene was identified in a young woman, impairing glucocorticoid signaling and leading to generalized glucocorticoid resistance.

This study found two recurrent missense mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix in families from Russia and Colombia, supporting their role in this hair disorder worldwide.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

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.

In this case report, researchers described a 6-year-old girl with severe mandibuloacral dysplasia type A, noting unique physical deformities and a rare homozygous LMNA gene mutation not commonly associated with the condition.

This study found that dominant mutations in the mouse agouti gene lead to maturity-onset obesity, with weight increases starting around 4 weeks and peaking between 8 and 17 months.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This study found that bovine slick mutations may enhance heat stress responses in mice but do not lead to the expected hair phenotype changes.

In this study, researchers found that a PER3 gene SNP may be pathogenic for a new subtype of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, especially when combined with a SASH1 mutation.

This study found that a novel missense mutation in the vitamin D receptor caused hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by disrupting protein function, highlighting the importance of DNA binding in hair development.

This study found that despite the persistence of aberrant double-negative T-cells, functional immune-competence was maintained after thymic transplantation in a patient with a rare FOXN1 mutation.

This study found that African American men with prostate cancer have higher rates of somatic and germline androgen receptor mutations than Caucasian American men, which may contribute to ethnic differences in disease progression and outcomes.

This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.

New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.

In this study, researchers reported that the Pinkie mutation in mice, affecting RXRa activity, leads to skewed Th1 development and suggests RXRa's role in Th2 differentiation, impacting immune responses.

This study found that inherited color dilution in Rex rabbit hair follicles is associated with DNA methylation changes, contributing to understanding the epigenetic regulation of rabbit pigmentation.
