This study found that the NHD domain, but not the PHD domain, of hPygo2 is crucial for Wnt-independent growth of ovarian cancer cells, and identified a key interaction with Treacle protein involved in ribosomal biogenesis.

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

This study found that Dab2 conditional knockout mice experienced delayed hair follicle cycles and reduced hair follicle stem cell activity, suggesting Dab2's crucial role in regulating stem cell activation and anti-aging process in hair follicles.

In this study, researchers found that selectively disabling ribonucleotide excision repair in mouse epidermis caused DNA damage, skin inflammation, and led to skin cancer, suggesting a potential role for this repair mechanism in tumorigenesis.

This study found that a mutation in the seventh exon of the KRT86 gene plays a major role in the pathogenesis of monilethrix in a Chinese family.

This study identified a novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair, contributing to understanding the genetic basis of this condition.

This study demonstrates that Krt15 marks long-lived, multipotent, and injury-resistant crypt cells in the small intestine, which may serve as the cell of origin in intestinal cancer.

In this study, researchers identified the CBL1-CIPK26 Ca 2+ sensor-kinase complexes as key modulators of the NADPH oxidase RBOHC crucial for root hair differentiation in plants.

This study identified a new transcriptional repressor, Zfp157, as a target of Stat6 in the mammary gland, expressing in various tissues during mouse embryogenesis and adulthood.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

Vitamin D receptor mutations can cause alopecia by affecting hair growth genes.

In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the hairless gene in a Polish family, which may contribute to congenital atrichia with papular lesions by affecting the gene's function.

This study found that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein Formin 2 localizes to plasmodesmata and is crucial for regulating their permeability by anchoring actin filaments, which affects virus susceptibility.

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 study found that a specific VDR amino acid substitution in children with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets disrupts ligand binding and gene activation but does not impair hair follicle development.

This study identified a new gene involved in woolly hair by linking a homozygous variant in KRT25 to autosomal recessive woolly hair in two Pakistani families.

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.

A new mutation in the TRPS1 gene caused Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome in a 17-year-old, highlighting the need for genetic testing.

The researchers reported two brothers with a new variant of X-linked trichothiodystrophy associated with an RNF113A gene mutation, highlighting features such as intellectual disability and growth failure, but without previously reported endocrinological or genital abnormalities, underlining the importance of genetic counseling for such variants.

In this study involving genetically modified rats, researchers observed that specific mutations in the vitamin D receptor affect calcium levels and bone formation, emphasizing the receptor's role in maintaining healthy bone density and its importance in regulating hair cycle and skin health.
