The authors concluded that milia, steatocystoma multiplex, and eruptive vellus hair cysts may be subtypes of multiple pilosebaceous cysts with overlapping histologic features.

This study describes a family with loose anagen hair syndrome associated with macular dystrophy, suggesting this combination may represent a new disease entity among ectodermal dysplasias.

A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.

This report describes the clinical presentation of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome in two brothers and reviews the related literature, without providing new clinical outcomes.

This study reports a semidominant inheritance of epidermolytic ichthyosis due to a KRT1 mutation, which was previously thought to be only inherited dominantly.

This case report describes a 56-year-old male with chronic watery diarrhea, hyperpigmentation, and alopecia, in whom colonoscopy revealed multiple polypoidal lesions from the distal transverse colon to the rectum.

In this case report, the researchers highlight a possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and multiple tongue hemangiomas, and emphasize that patients with this condition can experience exacerbated respiratory muscle weakness and risk of respiratory failure even with epidural anesthesia.

The document concludes that detailed clinical descriptions of seven family cases help understand dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa's symptoms and inheritance.

This study confirmed linkage of Clouston syndrome in a large Indian family to the 13q11-12.1 region, suggesting it shares a genetic basis with French Canadian cases.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man with KID syndrome caused by an N14Y GJB2 mutation, expanding the mutation spectrum of this condition in the Chinese population.

This review reports two new cases of porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus and analyzes all known cases in the Spanish and English literature, suggesting a link to a GJB2 gene mutation.

Panitumumab can cause excessive ear hair growth.

This study found evidence for a genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome, indicating an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance among first-degree relatives.

This study identified a new heterozygous mutation in the connexin 26 gene (c.263C>T; p.Ala88Val) in a premature neonate with KID syndrome, who later died from complications.

The authors reviewed cases of six children with both hair-shaft abnormalities and neurological disorders, noting that such hair defects may indicate neurological conditions, including potentially treatable metabolic errors.

This study identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the hairless gene among a non-consanguineous Chinese family with congenital atrichia, illustrating phenotypic variations due to founder or modifier genes.

In this case report, a 42-year-old male diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome presented symptoms like chronic diarrhea, significant weight loss, skin hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and nail dystrophy, with endoscopic findings revealing numerous gastrointestinal polyps.

In this case report, a 45-year-old Jordanian woman was diagnosed with Clouston syndrome, an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by alopecia and nail dystrophy due to a mutation in the GJB6 gene, though she lacked the typical palmoplantar keratoderma.

This article reviews the genetic mutations associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the roles of EDA gene isoforms and related receptors.

This case report describes a 10-month-old boy with VACTERL association and athymia who developed Omenn syndrome, highlighting the complex overlap of these conditions and the challenging clinical course due to profound T-cell immunodeficiency.

This case report illustrates how SNP array testing helped identify a DCAF17 mutation linked to Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in consanguineous Qatari siblings with shared features including alopecia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

The study reported a significant genotype–phenotype correlation in prepubescent males with XLHED, particularly in the severity of skin and hair manifestations between those with different EDA mutations.

This study identified novel mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with monilethrix, affecting protein interactions that may disrupt hair shaft structure.

This report describes two Saudi brothers with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis who exhibited normal hair shafts despite their condition.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.

This case series reports three cats diagnosed with hypersomatotropism due to GH-secreting pituitary adenomas without concurrent diabetes mellitus, highlighting the potential for underdiagnosis in non-diabetic cats.

The authors concluded that steatocystoma multiplex is a rare dermatological condition with poor treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and psychological support for affected individuals.

A gene deletion in DSG4 causes sparse hair in some Pakistani families.
