This study found that multiple eccrine duct dilation is highly specific for diagnosing cicatricial alopecia and may indicate scarring processes, aiding in accurate differential diagnosis from noncicatricial alopecias.

This case study suggests that early or significant alopecia in young adults may warrant investigation for underlying congenital conditions like trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.

In this case study, researchers detailed two Saudi cases of the ultra-rare Trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome, identifying pathogenic variants in the CCDC47 gene and reinforcing a strong gene-disease association, which helps clarify the disorder's clinical features and genetic mutations.

This case report describes a 7-year-old female from the Middle East with monilethrix, highlighting the disease's rarity in this population, characterized by brittle, sparse hair and keratosis pilaris.

This report details a case of a 3-year-old child with Clouston syndrome, a rare inherited disorder affecting nails, skin, and hair, highlighting the need for supportive management due to the absence of treatment options.

This clinical case report describes a 44-year-old male whose initial diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis progressed over a decade to include systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's Syndrome, highlighting the complexity of managing multiple autoimmune syndromes.

This case report documents a novel occurrence of bilateral trichomegaly with alopecia areata in a healthy 3-year-old girl, without known underlying health conditions or medication use.

Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.

The researchers identified a specific mutation in the desmoglein 4 gene linked to localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis, which presents with variable hair loss severity in affected individuals from a large Pakistani family.

Genetic defects in the Wnt/PCP pathway may cause congenital yellow nail syndrome.

This study describes a unique case of hair transplantation between monozygotic twins to address congenital, nonprogressive alopecia caused by follicular aplasia in one twin.

In this study, researchers identified and examined males with 17 beta-HSD3 deficiency in a highly inbred Arab population, noting genetic findings and the progression of male characteristics despite being raised as females initially.

In this study, polycystic ovarian disease was identified as a prevalent chronic endocrinopathy among women of reproductive age, with common dermatological symptoms such as hirsutism, acne, and androgenic alopecia.

This study reports a unique case of trichotillomania as a presenting sign in a patient with neurological Wilson's disease, confirmed by genetic testing and copper abnormalities.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of giant bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a 28-year-old female with CAH, emphasizing that large, hormonally active, or painful myelolipomas should be surgically removed.

This article discusses the genetic hair disorder monilethrix, characterized by beaded, fragile hair due to defective keratin genes, and reports no effective treatment currently available; variability in severity was noted among affected siblings.

This case report describes a rare co-existence of Becker nevus and plexiform neurofibroma in a child with genetically confirmed neurofibromatosis type 1, offering insights into the potential cellular and molecular links between these lesions.

This study reports a novel missense mutation in the HR gene in a 68-year-old Hungarian woman with alopecia universalis and limb deformities, suggesting a need for further research on its role in these conditions.

This case report describes an infant with congenital hyperinsulinism linked to a genetic mutation in the ABCC8 gene, illustrating challenges in managing persistent hypoglycemia despite medical interventions, leading to a near-total pancreatectomy.

Touch domes in human skin are complex sensory structures not directly linked to hair.

In this study, individuals with a c.1072C > T mutation in the EDAR gene showed more hair shaft deformations compared to non-mutation carriers, highlighting EDAR's role in hair follicle development.

This study describes a family with uncombable hair syndrome, suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance, and reports that oral biotin improved hair appearance in two young patients.

This report documents a novel alanine to valine substitution in the GJB2 gene in a Japanese girl with severe keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome, suggesting a potential link to her severe recurrent infections and immunodeficiency.

This study demonstrates that keratin K2 is crucial for proper keratinocyte structure and function in specific mouse skin areas, and its deficiency leads to cellular aggregates and skin abnormalities.

In this report, a unique female presentation of IFAP syndrome is described, featuring musculoskeletal contractures but no photophobia, highlighting the importance of early detection and multidisciplinary care to improve outcomes and prevent disability.

This study investigated the inheritance patterns of PCOS and found that 33% of participants had metabolic syndrome, which was more prevalent in first-generation relatives.

Pediatric patients with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa face more hospital admissions, procedures, and complications than others.
