research Analysis of the relationship between the mutation site of the SLC39A4 gene and acrodermatitis enteropathica by reporting a rare Chinese twin: a case report and review of the literature
New mutations in the SLC39A4 gene found in twins help understand the genetic cause of acrodermatitis enteropathica.
research Cloning of the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family: three genes implicated in the metabolism of catecholamines, thyroid hormones and drugs
Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.
research Analysis of heterogeneous reaction between reducing agents and keratin fibers using Raman spectroscopy and microspectrophotometry
The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.

A patient with a rare disease had a unique genetic mutation linked to their symptoms.
research Serum Cystatin C levels in adolescent females: A comparative study between PCOS and Non-PCOS groups
Adolescent females with PCOS have higher serum cystatin C levels, indicating potential metabolic and cardiovascular issues.
research Recurrent MBTPS2 variant c.970+5G>A in IFAP syndrome: a mutational hotspot
The MBTPS2 gene variant c.970+5G>A is a common mutation causing IFAP syndrome.
research Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with elevated alanine aminotransferase in patients receiving asunaprevir plus daclatasvir combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C
Certain genetic variations are linked to higher liver enzyme levels in patients treated for chronic hepatitis C with specific drugs.
research HAIR DEPIGMENTATION AND DERMATITIS – AN UNEXPECTED PRESENTATION OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Cystic fibrosis can cause unusual symptoms like hair color changes, which can improve with proper treatment.
research Biotinidase Enzyme Deficiency ( Case Report )
A rare biotin deficiency in an Iraqi family caused severe symptoms but was successfully treated with lifelong biotin.
research Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome (CCS)—A Rare Case Report
Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is a rare, non-inherited condition causing various symptoms like polyps, hair loss, and weight loss.
research Conformational differences in protein disulfide linkages between normal hair and hair from subjects with trichothiodystrophy: A quantitative analysis by Raman microspectroscopy
TTD hair is brittle due to fewer sulfur amino acids and unstable disulfide bonds.
research Uptake and Utilisation of Amino Acids by Human Hair Follicles and Related Cells
Cysteine and arginine are essential for hair growth and thickness.
research In utero Diagnosis of Trichothiodystrophy by Endoscopically-Guided Fetal Eyebrow Biopsy
Prenatal diagnosis of trichothiodystrophy is possible in the second trimester using fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being more reliable.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
research Action of Thioglycolic Acid and L-Cysteine to Disulfide Cross-Links in Hair Fibers during Permanent Waving Treatment
Thioglycolic acid and L-cysteine change hair structure differently during perms, affecting hair strength and curling efficiency.
research Clinical Snippets
A bull with a gene mutation was asymptomatic, synthetic retinoids cause hair loss, and new therapeutic targets were identified for skin diseases.
research A Congenital Hair Defect: Trichoschisis With Alternating Birefringence and Low Sulfur Content
research Biotin and biotinidase deficiency
Biotin and biotinidase are essential to prevent health issues, and deficiencies require lifelong supplementation.
research A Case of Trichothiodystrophy with a Low Sulfur Level in the Hair Shafts
research PD05-05 SINGLE CENTRE EXPERIENCE OF CHELATING AGENTS IN CYSTINURIA
Both penicillamine and tiopronin have significant side effects, but trying the alternative drug can be beneficial if the first is not tolerated.

Protein kinase C epsilon may promote skin cancer development after UV exposure by affecting nearby cells.
research A Mosaic Hotspot PLCD1 Variant, Detectable in Blood‐Derived DNA , Associated With Nevus Trichilemmocysticus
A rare genetic variant linked to skin cysts was found in blood DNA, suggesting its role in cyst formation.
research Modification of hair dysplasia curve by radioprotectors containg sulfur as a function of the x-ray dose.
Sulfur-containing radioprotectors can protect hair from X-ray damage if given before exposure but worsen damage if given after.
