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.

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

This case report highlights that scarring alopecia with features of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and lichen planopilaris can occur in patients with a COL7A1 mutation, emphasizing the need to recognize concurrent inflammatory causes.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical presentations of alopecia in epidermolysis bullosa patients, noting diverse hair abnormalities and emphasizing the lack of a consensus on its natural history.

This study found that finasteride was nongenotoxic in Drosophila, while doxazosin mesylate and saw palmetto induced homologous recombination, indicating potential genotoxic actions under the test conditions.

This study identified a missense mutation in the human hairless gene associated with a rare form of recessively inherited alopecia universalis, pinpointed on chromosome 8p12.

This study found that castration-resistant prostate cancers resistant to CYP17A1 inhibitors may still depend on steroids and could respond to therapies targeting de novo intratumoral steroid synthesis.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

In this study, two unique mutations in the RBPJ gene were identified and linked to Adams-Oliver syndrome, confirming impaired DNA binding of mutated RBPJ as a factor in this rare genetic disorder.

This review summarizes 15 years of clinical and experimental research advancements in hidradenitis suppurativa, highlighting its recognition as a uniquely healable inflammatory skin disease but reports no new clinical results.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

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.

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

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

This review discusses the variety of skin disorders associated with atopic dermatitis, exploring their complex relationships and shared genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, a methanol extract of Eclipta alba was found to have dose-dependent hair growth-promoting activity in C57BL6 mice.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the Eda pathway's role in developmental biology, and highlights ongoing trials and areas for further research, including Eda's potential involvement in cell processes and disease.

This study found that the GGC repeat length significantly influenced testosterone levels in oral contraceptive users from high-risk breast cancer families, and homozygosity for short alleles may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.

This study presents the first reported Spanish case of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy, identifying a new CDH3 mutation and highlighting the importance of clinical and genetic evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

This study suggests that lower serum and tissue vitamin D receptor levels in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia patients may play a role in the pathogenesis of these hair diseases.

This study suggests that cancer risk may be influenced by the balance of pro- and anti-oncogenic mutants in normal tissues rather than by the total number of mutations.

Stem cells compete for space using cell adhesion, and mutations can affect their competitive success, with implications for tissue health and disease.

This study characterized two siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets and a mutation in the vitamin D receptor, finding no immune-related disorders despite a defective T cell response to vitamin D.

This review discusses stem cell behavior, highlighting their plasticity in tissue repair and the impact of somatic mutations on clonal expansion in early cancer, but reports no new experimental results.

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

This case report describes a 12-year-old boy with severe skin scaling due to novel compound heterozygous null truncation mutations in the TGM1 gene, resulting in loss of transglutaminase 1 activity.

This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.
