This review identifies genetic mutations associated with congenital hair loss disorders in Japanese populations, particularly highlighting common LIPH gene mutations linked to woolly hair/hypotrichosis, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that male androgenic alopecia patients using the X5 hair laser device showed a statistically significant increase in hair growth over a 26-week period.

Applying minoxidil can help improve hair growth in people with hair loss caused by LIPH gene mutations.

This study identified a novel locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex on chromosome 13q12.12~12.3 in a four-generation Chinese family.

The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.

Genetic mutations cause various hair diseases, and whole genome sequencing may reveal more about these conditions.

This review details the global mutation patterns of genes associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and highlights potential, yet unproven, treatments like minoxidil and regenerative therapies, reporting no new clinical results.

This case study reported a neonate of Indian descent with localized hypotrichosis type 1 due to a likely pathogenic deletion in the DSG4 gene, marking the first such case from India.

Researchers found a new area on chromosome 2 linked to a genetic hair loss condition.

This paper reviews the genetic aspects of hair disorders and suggests that understanding these genes could advance treatment and diagnosis; it reports no new experimental findings.

This study observed phenotypic diversity in hair loss among Japanese individuals homozygous for the LIPH c.736T>A mutation and suggests that differences in hair thickness may contribute to varying severities.

Low-dose acitretin helps nail psoriasis, stem cells may treat scarring alopecia, Chinese men have lower baldness rates, lateral foldplasty is good for ingrown toenails, hair diameter helps diagnose female baldness, childhood trauma linked to alopecia areata, certain hair-weaving leads to scalp conditions in African American women, and new methods for hair research and understanding hair and sweat gland development were introduced.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This study identified mutations in the SNRPE gene that may disrupt hair growth, linking a spliceosome component to hereditary hair loss disorders.

A specific mutation in PA-PLA1α causes abnormal hair growth.

This study identified mutations in the SREBF1 gene that impair SREBP1 function, potentially contributing to IFAP syndrome by affecting skin, hair, and eye development.

This study identified specific genetic variants as the cause of visual impairment and non-syndromic alopecia in two brothers, reinforcing the link between PDE6H variants and achromatopsia and LPAR6 variants and alopecia.

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-X in mice was associated with alopecia and hair follicle abnormalities, highlighting its potential role in hair follicle homeostasis.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes tightly curled hair.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.

This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.

This review discusses genetic causes and classification of rare, monogenic forms of alopecia and highlights the role of molecular genetic research in understanding hair loss mechanisms but reports no new clinical results.

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 reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

In this study, researchers created a mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to investigate hypotrichosis simplex and woolly hair, finding that Krt71-knockout mice exhibited curly hair and developed complete hair shedding without immune deficiencies, mimicking conditions seen in humans and potentially aiding future hair disorder research.

This study identified core genes and pathways involved in androgenetic alopecia, finding that genes related to hair follicle development are down-regulated, while those linked to immune responses are up-regulated, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

This article discusses genetic hair disorders in children, outlining diagnostic approaches and highlighting the significance of distinguishing isolated hair defects from those associated with syndromes, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome had higher PRU rates, and ticagrelor showed greater antiplatelet efficacy compared to clopidogrel in this population.
