This report expands the known genetic mutations linked to monilethrix by identifying new patients with KRT83 mutations, confirming its role as a causative gene for this hair disorder.

In this case report, an 11-year-old boy with trichotillomania experienced significant reduction in hair-pulling behavior and visible hair regrowth after treatment with medications and psychological interventions, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and comprehensive management of this disorder.

This article describes the first documented case of acquired uncombable hair syndrome in a 39-year-old woman, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.

This case study examined a 72-year-old woman with unique hair shaft constrictions consistent with monilethrix, despite features atypical for this condition, ultimately reaching a diagnosis that led to successful improvement using oral minoxidil and reduced hair trauma.

In this case report, a 5-year-old girl experienced extensive hypertrichosis after using topical minoxidil lotion unsupervised, which regressed after discontinuation, highlighting the need for medical oversight.

In this study of a TRPS type I patient, many genes related to keratin and hair development were down-regulated in balding scalp areas, providing new insights into TRPS and hair morphogenesis.

This study suggests that the key mechanism of stress-related hair loss involves CRH-induced PTEN loss, which reduces autophagy and increases apoptosis in dermal papilla cells, highlighting potential therapeutic targets like PTEN activation or autophagy enhancement.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose and treat a child's fungal scalp infection by spotting specific hair shapes.

This study reviewed 78 childhood trichotillomania cases and found the scalp was the primary site for hair pulling, with comorbid psychiatric disorders present in many cases.

This review discusses the psychological and neurobiological aspects of trichotillomania and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for further research on its treatment and neural mechanisms.

This study suggests that clinically apparent fragile hair in children is rarely linked to trichothiodystrophy, and the tiger-tail pattern is not wholly specific to this diagnosis.

This review discusses trichotillomania, its diagnosis, prevalence, potential brain abnormalities, and current treatment options, and offers no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the characteristics, potential genetic components, and treatment options for trichotillomania, a psychiatric condition that involves compulsive hair pulling, without reporting new clinical results.

This abstract discusses Netherton Syndrome, a genetic disorder with a characteristic triad of symptoms caused by SPINK5 gene mutation, and reports no new clinical findings or treatment advances.

This case study documented that a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome experienced significant improvements in skin inflammation, pruritus, and hair growth after treatment with dupilumab, addressing symptoms of the syndrome and showing promising results for resolving "bamboo" hair.

Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.

This study found that Rac1 activity in specific skin compartments is sufficient for hair formation, but results in hair with altered structure and pigmentation compared to normal.

This report of a 90-year-old girl with tinea capitis indicates that griseofulvin remains the main treatment, showing improvement after eight weeks of therapy.
