This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.

This study found that as few as 90 base pairs of the K5 promoter directed keratinocyte-preferred expression in stratified epithelia, especially in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, showing cell type specificity.

This study developed a novel monoclonal antibody, TYHF-1, which specifically reacts with hair keratins but not with epidermal keratins or various other tissue cells.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

This study suggests that hair loss disorders like Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis may result from mutations that disrupt post-transcriptional regulation of HR protein expression by PCPB2 interacting with Hr mRNA.

In this case report, researchers identified Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii as the cause of a familial fungal infection, which was successfully treated with itraconazole and topical terbinafine cream.

In this study, two novel clusters of keratin-associated protein genes on human chromosome 11 were analyzed, suggesting their products are crucial for hair formation due to preferential expression in hair roots.

In this case report, a 17-year-old male with a specific TRPS1 gene mutation presented with sparse, soft hair, short thumbs and toes, misaligned teeth, and distinctive bone abnormalities in the fingers and toes as observed through X-ray analysis.

This case report describes a 40-year-old woman with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome diagnosed with multiple chromophobe renal cell carcinomas, highlighting the importance of recognizing associated dermatologic lesions for early intervention.

This study found that a truncated region of the K5 promoter directs expression in stratified epithelia, particularly in epidermis, hair follicles, and tongue, potentially involving specific keratinocyte nuclear proteins in regulation.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

This study reports new monilethrix cases in Venezuela, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, expanding the known mutational spectrum of the disorder with novel mutations in KRT81, KRT83, and KRT86 genes.

This study reports that K7 expression patterns observed in mice are similar to those in humans, revealing previously unreported expression in the gastrointestinal tract, tongue, and various "hard" epithelial tissues.

In this study, researchers found that the prevalent Glu 410 Lys mutation in hHb6 and a new Glu 403 Lys mutation in hHb1 are linked to monilethrix, suggesting a mutational hotspot in type II hair keratins.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

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.

This report describes a case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in a newborn and her mother, both possessing a specific KRT1 gene mutation known to cause this skin disorder.

This study provides evidence supporting a regulatory relationship between the transcriptional regulator Hoxc13 and Krtap16 genes, which are crucial for proper hair growth in mice.

This study found that trichoblastomas and nodular basal cell carcinomas have similar cytokeratin expression patterns, indicating differentiation towards the outer root sheath epithelium.

This study reports a novel TRbeta gene mutation associated with resistance to thyroid hormone syndrome, which may contribute to various forms of alopecia in the affected family members.

This case report describes a Thai male with TRPS1 who exhibited unique and unreported features such as hypoplastic mandibular condyles, double mental foramina, and distinctive hair abnormalities.

This study demonstrates that the trichohyalin gene is located at chromosomal region 1q21, where several other genes related to epidermal differentiation also map.

This study describes a co-dominant E410D mutation in keratin hHb6 associated with severe hair loss and extensive papules in homozygous individuals, with variable expression in heterozygous family members.

The mutation causes hairless mice due to mislocalized and dysfunctional HR protein.

In this study, researchers identified a gene regulatory network in Arabidopsis that controls root hair growth under low-temperature conditions, revealing specific transcription factors and downstream targets that contribute to this growth response despite overall plant development being halted.

In this study, researchers found that the loss of SETDB1 in epidermal keratinocytes led to altered chromatin states, increased ERV expression, and activation of immune responses, while inhibiting these effects with certain antiviral drugs reduced skin inflammation and hair loss in a mouse model.

This study demonstrates that Krt15 marks long-lived, multipotent, and injury-resistant crypt cells in the small intestine, which may serve as the cell of origin in intestinal cancer.
