This study found that IL-4 VNTR intron 3 and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms do not have a significant association with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Egyptian population.

This article summarizes the main plenary sessions of the 88th Annual Meeting of the British Association of Dermatologists and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that African American men with prostate cancer have higher rates of somatic and germline androgen receptor mutations than Caucasian American men, which may contribute to ethnic differences in disease progression and outcomes.

In this study, researchers reported that the SHBG +5790 G>A polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of developing resistance to hormonal castration in advanced prostate cancer patients.

This study found that individuals in this Egyptian cohort carrying the leucine (L) allele of the 5-α reductase type II enzyme had a higher risk of developing androgenetic alopecia, which may be associated with oxidative stress.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

This study observed that Greek Caucasian women with PCOS had distinct serum hormone levels and a specific AKT2 gene SNP, which may play a role in the condition's characteristics.

This study found that the EDAR 1540T/C genetic variant is significantly associated with hair thickness variation in Japanese populations, enhancing previously observed associations in Southeast Asian groups.

This study found that an SNP in the FGFR2 gene, rs4752566, was significantly associated with hair thickness in Asian populations, suggesting an effect on hair morphology through altered FGFR2 expression levels.

This meta-analysis suggests that the G allele of AR StuI polymorphism might be a potential risk factor for AGA, particularly in white populations.

This review discusses how the HSD3B1(1245C) genotype may impact androgen physiology and the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and does not report new experimental results.

This review discusses the role of androgen hormones in the pathophysiology of childhood androgenetic alopecia and reports no clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that a PER3 gene SNP may be pathogenic for a new subtype of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, especially when combined with a SASH1 mutation.

This report describes a 9-year-old girl with a scalp kerion treated successfully with terbinafine and ketoconazole shampoo, leading to hair regrowth after two months.

Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.

In this case–control study, the researchers in Ukraine found no significant link between VDR rs2228570 polymorphism and decreased serum BDNF levels, though they observed a moderate correlation between serum BDNF and 25-OH Vitamin D levels in patients with thyroid disorders.

This review discusses the genetic and biological factors influencing hair curliness, revealing strong links to specific protein variations, and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found a significant association between the rs13405699 SNP at 2q31.1 and male pattern baldness among Han Chinese men, suggesting genetic influence on this condition in this population.

This study found that genetic variants in the goat KRTAP22-2 gene are associated with the mean fiber diameter of cashmere in Longdong Cashmere goats, suggesting these variants could serve as molecular markers for improving cashmere traits.

This review discusses the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in skin diseases like acne and hirsutism, and highlights the promise of antiandrogen drugs, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study shows that alpha 6 + /MHCI - cells have gene expression profiles similar to hair follicle stem cells, suggesting they may be enriched for stem cells.

This article describes the various presentations of oral lichen planus and notes it often requires topical or systemic immunosuppressive treatment for associated discomfort, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hypospadias in male children is significantly associated with genetic polymorphisms in the Steroid 5 alpha reductase type 2 gene, higher parental age, consanguinity, rural residence, and preterm labor, with maternal age and rural residence being the strongest independent predictors.

In this study, the SRD5A2 rs523349 polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, particularly during the second trimester.

A new genetic mutation in the CAST gene may link PLACK syndrome to alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers identified three novel genetic loci associated with androgenetic alopecia, including one with significant association in females only, which may indicate a role for sex-specific genetic factors in patterned hair loss.

This study comprehensively compared different crystalline forms of finasteride, including the new finasteride DMF solvate hemihydrate, to better understand their structural characteristics and intermolecular interactions.

This article reviews current classifications of primary scalp alopecias into scarring and nonscarring types and notes that the causes of many are still unclear, calling for further investigation.

In this study, researchers identified two genetic mutations associated with producing finer and denser wool in fine-wool sheep, involving the genes KRT74 and EDAR, which may guide future breeding efforts to enhance wool quality.
