This review discusses the genetic disorder, monilethrix, characterized by fragile, brittle hair and its inheritance patterns, and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that transgene insertion in homozygous transgenic mice causes irreversible hair loss and impaired immune function, linked to interruption of the hairless locus on Chromosome 14.

In this study, researchers found that a specific genetic variant in the INSR gene is linked to severe insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia in type A insulin resistance syndrome, suggesting the benefit of exon sequencing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This study found evidence for a genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome, indicating an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance among first-degree relatives.

This study found that among Korean men with AGA, drinking and smoking were associated with greater hair loss severity, while family history was linked to more severe hair loss and earlier onset.

This study found that the rs2228570 polymorphism of the VDR gene was associated with an increased risk of melanoma, while the rs731236 polymorphism was linked to a protective effect against the disease in Colombian patients.

This study observed no association between androgenetic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia in men aged 20 and older, although a positive family history was linked to early onset of hair loss.

This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.

This study found that in adult mouse skin, reduced levels of histone H3 K4/K9/K27me3 during hair follicle stem cell quiescence are linked to proper tissue homeostasis.

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

This review discusses the various treatment options for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no definitive results, as no treatment has proven effective in halting hairline recession or promoting hair growth.

In this thesis, researchers explored ways to enhance the management of myotonic dystrophy type 1 by investigating the genetic inheritance patterns, especially small-sized repeat expansions, and assessing cardiac care, energy expenditure, and body composition in affected individuals.

This study found that Hirosaki hairless rats experience transient activation of STAT5A in the mammary glands during early lactation, involving O-GlcNAc modification rather than Tyr-phosphorylation.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.

This article presents a case study of a 16-year-old male with GAPO syndrome, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy, who sought dental treatment for missing teeth.

This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

This case report details the first observed instance of congenital erythropoietic porphyria in Armenia, where standard treatments did not stop symptom progression in a 22-year-old man, prompting consideration of stem cell transplant.

This case series describes eight instances of autosomal recessive woolly hair in an Indian population over the past 12 years, detailing their clinical presentation, hair traits, and treatment response.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

In this study, researchers identified an autosomal dominant mutation (E402K) in exon 7 of the KRT86 gene as a cause of Monilethrix in a large family from Turkey.

This study presents evidence suggesting that androgenetic alopecia is most likely inherited through a polygenic model, challenging the traditional view that it is caused by a simple Mendelian autosomal dominant gene.

This article revisits the genetics of pattern baldness but reports no new clinical findings.

Alopecia in animals can be hereditary, congenital, or acquired, with treatments and outcomes varying widely.

This case study suggests that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome may be hereditary in patients with connective tissue disorders due to a variant in the COL1A2 gene.

This review describes the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, highlighting new DCAF17 gene variants and their varying clinical implications.

This review discusses major advances in understanding inherited hair diseases through genetic research and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the potential for new preventive and therapeutic tools.

This article reviews fetal scalp hair formation and related disorders but reports no new research results.

This paper reviews the genetic aspects of hair disorders and suggests that understanding these genes could advance treatment and diagnosis; it reports no new experimental findings.

This article reviews the clinical and histological features of acanthosis nigricans and its associations with insulin resistance and other conditions, but highlights the need for more research on its classification, severity assessment, and treatment options.

This study found that a novel rare variant in ITGB6 may cause intellectual disability, alopecia, and dentogingival anomalies in a specific Pakistani family, highlighting a potential role for ITGB6 beyond enamel formation.
