This clinical case report presents photographs of a patient with Netherton syndrome, highlighting severe inflammatory vegetative lesions on the pubic area and umbilicus.

In this study, hair shafts from trichothiodystrophy patients with ERCC2 mutations revealed abnormal cuticle structures and protein imbalances compared to normal hair shafts.

This study found that a histochemical stain using 4-dimethyl-aminocinnamaldehyde effectively distinguishes between plucked anagen and telogen hairs by causing the root ends of anagen hairs to develop a red color.

In this review, skin changes like hair loss and brittle nails linked to nutritional deficiencies common in eating disorders are examined as critical diagnostic tools, highlighting the need for integrated care involving dermatologists, psychiatrists, and nutritionists for effective management.

This study identified three SPINK5 mutations, including two novel ones, in Israeli patients with Comèl-Netherton syndrome, suggesting recurring mutations that should inform future diagnostic strategies in Israel.

In this case report, a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome experienced significant improvement in skin inflammation, pruritus, and hair growth after treatment with dupilumab, suggesting potential benefits for addressing both cutaneous and hair manifestations of the condition.
