February 1991 in “FEBS Letters” The study introduced the rat ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene into OTC-deficient spf-ash mice, resulting in significant improvements in enzyme activity and metabolic markers. Hemizygous spf-ash mice with the transgene exhibited liver OTC activity about twice that of nontransgenic counterparts and small intestinal OTC activity 6 times higher, reaching 12% and 27% of control levels, respectively. These transgenic mice displayed normal hair growth, nearly normalized urinary orotic acid excretion, and normalized serum citrulline concentration, indicating a successful correction of the OTC deficiency.

March 2016 in “Serbian Journal of Dermatology and Venerology” This case report described a six-year-old boy with congenital generalized hypertrichosis terminalis, a rare condition characterized by excessive growth of pigmented terminal hair, gingival hyperplasia, and a coarse face. The boy, born to non-consanguineous parents, also had congenital hydronephrosis of the right kidney and a heterozygous deletion on chromosome 17q12. Despite normal intellectual development, he exhibited shyness and dependency on his mother. Laboratory tests showed normal results, and a right-sided nephrectomy was performed due to urinary infections. The report highlighted the need for regular follow-ups with endocrinologists and nephrologists due to potential risks of diabetes mellitus and renal function issues. Laser hair removal was initiated and proved effective. The study suggested a possible genetic link involving chromosome 17q but noted that a specific molecular abnormality had not been identified.
