This case report describes a 4-year-old girl with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, linked to mutations in the cadherin 3 gene affecting P-cadherin expression.

This study emphasizes the genetic component of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting an atypical case involving an adolescent male within an African-American family.

This case report highlights a novel NR5A1 gene variant associated with a severe 46,XY disorder of sex development, stressing the importance of genetic screening in similar cases.

A new genetic mutation causing Xeroderma Pigmentosum was found in an 8-year-old girl, affecting her DNA repair.

This study found that chromosomal microarray analysis identified copy number variations in 12% of patients with dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies, demonstrating its potential as a diagnostic tool, especially for rare CNVs and immune deficiency linked to the deletion of CTLA4.

This study describes two Danish cases of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome presenting with malnutrition and gastrointestinal issues; both patients underwent successful treatment and remission after developing colonic adenocarcinomas.

This article discusses the potential of intralesional cidofovir for treating SCC without systemic toxicity, noting that surgical excision remains the best treatment option; it reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported increased ubiquitination of proteins such as the insulin receptor in CYLD cutaneous syndrome skin tumors, suggesting that CYLD dysfunction may affect protein secretion and signaling processes.

This report describes a case of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome with manifestations including multiple fibrofolliculomas, acrochordons, and renal oncocytoma.

In this study, the researchers observed significant metabolic dysregulation in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly involving lipid metabolism and the downregulation of AMPK-related genes.

This case study reports that a heterozygous missense GJA1 mutation, p.Gly138Ser, in a 2-year-old boy with oculodentodigital syndrome primarily resulted in syndactyly, fifth finger hypoplasia, and hypotrichosis, without neurological or craniofacial abnormalities.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

This article explores potential risk factors for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and suggests that seborrheic dermatitis may play a role in its development, but it reports no new scientific findings.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This case report describes a 13-year-old with DSD raised as female, exhibiting hoarseness and clitoral enlargement, with hormonal assessments not indicating common related deficiencies.

In this study, researchers generated a mouse mutation called scraggly, related to hair and skin defects, and mapped it to a genetic location on mouse Chromosome 19 distinct from similar mutations.

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 review discusses the role of corneodesmosin in skin and hair follicle integrity, with mentions of its link to hypotrichosis simplex and peeling skin disease, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the diverse extra-intestinal manifestations of celiac disease in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors note differences in symptom prevalence and resolution compared to adults.

This study concludes that dietary L-serine supplementation shows promise as a long-term therapy for hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1, reducing neurotoxic 1-deoxysphingolipid levels and improving symptoms in severe cases.

This study observed that the SREBF1 mutation c.1669C>T (p.Arg557Cys) may act as a recurrent hotspot mutation associated with both hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia and autosomal-dominant ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia syndrome, suggesting they may be on the same clinical spectrum.

This study identifies a likely pathogenic homozygous missense variant in the AEBP1 gene in a patient with symptoms of classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, suggesting new perspectives for EDS classification and research.
