research Clinicopathological insights into the phenotypic variation of autosomal recessive hypotrichosis/wooly hair by c.736T>A LIPH mutation
The conclusion is that the variation in hair thinness in patients is mostly due to the amount of underdeveloped hairs, and treatments that thicken fine hairs might work for those with mild to severe conditions.

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 Retinol dehydrogenase 12 (RDH12): Role in vision, retinal disease and future perspectives
The enzyme RDH12 plays a role in vision and retinal disease, with mutations leading to early onset visual loss and blindness, but the exact disease mechanism is unclear and there are no treatments yet.
