This study identified an association between alopecia areata and the MICA*009 and HLA-B14 genetic markers, highlighting the importance of studying them together to better understand their role in this condition.

This study reports that using laser microdissection to isolate telogen hair follicles significantly improves DNA extraction efficiency for STR typing, reducing contamination from keratin.

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.

The study found that sonication washing of hair roots with fewer than 50 visible nuclei could reduce the number of nuclei available for DNA extraction and STR typing, suggesting that for laboratories focused on nuDNA analysis, a gentler washing method might be adequate.

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.
