This article reviews androgen insensitivity syndrome and highlights the factors contributing to phenotypic diversity in 46,XY patients with AR gene mutations, reporting no new clinical results.

This case report suggests that poor hair and nail growth in children with autism spectrum disorder and developmental delay may indicate a biotin-responsive condition, as biotin and acetazolamide therapy improved symptoms and school performance in the reported patient.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, emphasizing the need for thorough clinical history, high suspicion for early diagnosis, and continuous long-term follow-up.

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.

In this study, the researchers reported a new case of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome with a novel LMNA mutation and successful surgical intervention for airway obstruction.

In this case report, researchers identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in the MBTPS2 gene associated with the mild form of IFAP syndrome in a 7-year-old boy.

This review discusses the diverse cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus and emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis for effective management, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this case study, a 19-month-old infant with palmoplantar keratoderma and nail dystrophy was found to have a desmoplakin gene mutation, leading to cardiomyopathy by age 7, illustrating diagnostic challenges and the potential link between skin, dental, and cardiac anomalies.

The meeting highlighted the importance of genetic testing and multidisciplinary approaches in pediatric dermatology.

Mutations in the TSPEAR gene cause a new form of ectodermal dysplasia affecting hair and tooth development.

This study reports the discovery of mutations in the PADI3, TGM3, and TCHH genes as molecular genetic causes of uncombable hair syndrome in children, indicating an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern.

This study found that ZDHHC13 deficiency in mice is associated with abnormal liver function, lipid metabolism issues, and impaired mitochondrial function, highlighting ZDHHC13's regulatory role in liver metabolism.

This review discusses diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the challenges and risks of misdiagnosing women with other hyperandrogenism causes; it reports no clinical results.

This study found that unsaturated fatty acids are more abundant in the cortex of human hair than on its surface, and steryl glycoside-like lipids may help bind the cuticle to the cortex.

This study identified four proteins that differ between Type III and non-Type III hair in Yangtze River Delta white goats, contributing to understanding the development of high-quality brush hair.

This study found that protein arginine methylation levels in human hair may correlate with a cardiovascular biomarker in blood, suggesting hair sampling as a potential non-invasive method for cardiovascular risk assessment.

This study found that ERBB2 mutations and amplifications are likely key drivers of extramammary Paget disease, suggesting potential for targeted therapies and cancer immunotherapy due to the moderately high mutational load observed.

In a clinical phase I/IIa study, subcutaneous injections of the peptide FOL-005 increased hair growth by 8% and were safe for treating alopecia.

This study identified distinct human and bacterial protein profiles in sebaceous follicular casts, with acne samples showing proteins linked to inflammation and normal samples showing proteins involved in stress protection.

This study found that procyanidin B-3, a compound isolated from barley extract, may promote hair growth by enhancing hair epithelial cell growth and counteracting TGF-β1's growth-inhibiting effects in vitro and in vivo.

This study found that keratin damage in mammals and birds can result from N-homocysteinylation, reducing keratin solubility and indicating significant protein modification through genetic or nutritional disruptions in homocysteine metabolism.
