Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research New clinico‐genetic classification of trichothiodystrophy
A new classification for trichothiodystrophy helps identify genetic causes and potential treatments.
research The hair shaft: normality, abnormality, and genetics
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing hair disorders, but clear definitions are needed for accurate genetic analysis.
research Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity syndromes
Genetic defects in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can cause conditions with abnormal sensitivity to stress hormones, and other factors may also affect this sensitivity.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistance, rickets, and alopecia
A genetic defect in vitamin D receptors causes severe rickets and hair loss in children, but some heal as they age.
research 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency in the Mediterranean population.
A genetic defect causes males in some Mediterranean populations to be born with ambiguous genitalia and develop male traits at puberty.
research Severe Hypernatremia as Presentation of Netherton Syndrome
Netherton syndrome can cause severe dehydration, infections, and growth issues in infants.
research Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in two brothers with pili multigemini
Genetic factors might cause fibrosing alopecia linked to hair shaft abnormalities.
research Differential expression of keratin and keratin associated proteins are linked with hair loss condition in spontaneously mutated inbred mice

research Scaling dermatosis in three dogs associated with abnormal sebaceous gland differentiation
Three dogs with a rare skin condition improved with treatment.
research A review of the etiologies, clinical characteristics, and treatment of canities
Gray hair is caused by reduced melanin production or transfer issues, linked to aging and possibly health conditions, with treatments focusing on color camouflage.
research Alopecia areata in a patient with WNT10A heterozygous ectodermal dysplasia
A girl with a rare genetic condition affecting hair and nails also developed a common type of hair loss, suggesting a possible genetic link.
research Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hair Follicle Development

research Markers of Epidermal Stem Cell Subpopulations in Adult Mammalian Skin
The document concludes that adult mammalian skin contains multiple stem cell populations with specific markers, important for understanding skin regeneration and related conditions.
research Mutations in SNRPE, which Encodes a Core Protein of the Spliceosome, Cause Autosomal-Dominant Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the SNRPE gene cause hereditary hair loss.
research A Homozygous Nonsense Mutation in the Zinc-Finger Domain of the Human Hairless Gene Underlies Congenital Atrichia
A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss without other health issues.
research Scalp whorls
Abnormal scalp whorls can indicate brain development issues but may also be seen in neurologically normal people.
research 4 Vitamin D resistance
Some people have genetic mutations that make them resistant to vitamin D, leading to rickets even with enough vitamin D intake.
research Novel compound heterozygous mutations in thedesmoplakingene cause hair shaft abnormalities and culminate in lethal cardiomyopathy
Mutations in the desmoplakin gene can cause hair problems and deadly heart disease.
research A new tool for conditional gene manipulation in a subset of keratin‐expressing epithelia
The Megsin-Cre transgene is a new tool for genetic manipulation in the skin and upper digestive tract.
research Hair follicle dystrophy in a litter of domestic cats resembling lanceolate hair mutant mice
A litter of cats had a hair condition similar to a mouse mutation, leading to hair loss and abnormal hair and skin.
research Receptor tyrosine kinase Kit action in skin melanocytes: is it exclusively cell autonomous?
KIT's role in skin cells is not entirely independent, as other cells can influence its function.
research Nociceptive and Nonnociceptive Roles of TRPV3 and Its “Druggability”
TRPV3 could be a target for treating pain, skin disorders, and hair problems, but more research is needed to create effective drugs.
