A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes woolly hair by affecting hair texture.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes woolly hair by affecting hair texture.

This study suggests that identified polymorphisms may serve as markers for assessing an individual's risk of developing prostate cancer.

This study found that eyebrow follicles, as opposed to buccal swabs or nails, are the most reliable tissue for post-HSCT germline genetic testing due to lower donor DNA contamination.

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.

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 found that in sheep, the microRNA oar-miR-377 regulates hair follicle development by targeting the SLC24A2 gene, and identified a genetic variation associated with wool quality, suggesting potential markers for breeding.

Genetic differences may influence male pattern hair loss in Russians.

This study aimed to identify unknown genetic risk loci associated with androgenetic alopecia by examining SNPs at 12 genomic loci but did not find complete heritable risk factors.

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 study identified a specific SNP in the CACNB4 gene associated with a higher risk of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, which may help develop interventions to improve their quality of life.

Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.

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.

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 forensic DNA phenotyping, focusing on male pattern baldness and its prediction through SNP markers, but reports no new results.

This paper discusses forensic DNA phenotyping, emphasizing its ability to infer visible traits from biological samples without reference samples, but notes ethical and legal concerns related to its use.

This study found that a significant portion of alopecia areata patients achieved at least partial hair regrowth with diphenylcyclopropenon therapy, which was more effective in certain subtypes and disease durations.

This study found that a genetic variant in the EDAR gene leads to typical East Asian hair characteristics by increasing signaling output, as shown in transgenic mice experiments.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with coat type in domestic dogs, showing certain variants linked to single-coated breeds and suggesting potential regulatory roles.

In this study, a missense mutation in the MAP2 gene was found to be associated with reduced hair follicle density, leading to the hairless phenotype in pigs.

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.

In this study, researchers found that oar-miR-377 regulates secondary hair follicle development in sheep by downregulating the SLC24A2 gene, and a specific SNP in oar-miR-377 is significantly associated with wool fiber diameter variation in Chinese Merino sheep.

This study found weak epidemiological associations between male pattern baldness and coronary heart disease, but no significant genetic link, though specific loci shared risks with other conditions.

This review discusses the genetic and molecular factors involved in human hair follicle development and cycling, highlighting identified genes and pathways associated with hair diseases but reports no new results.

Razor bumps are linked to a genetic variant, misoprostol helps erythromelalgia pain, steroid ointments don't affect skin rhythms, and certain antibodies are common in localized scleroderma.

In this in silico study, researchers analyzed nonsynonymous SNPs in the LIPH gene linked to hypotrichosis and identified three potentially harmful variants (W108R, C246S, and H248N) out of 215 total, using sequence- and architecture-based bioinformatics techniques to differentiate between harmful and benign SNPs.

This article discusses intra-host single-nucleotide variants in SARS-CoV-2, highlighting their potential to inform on virus strain diversity, immune escape, and drug design, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that IL-18 rs187238 and rs1946518 single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata in a Turkish population.
