research Variable expressivity of syndromic BMP4-related eye, brain, and digital anomalies: A review of the literature and description of three new cases
BMP4-related anomalies can cause a wide range of eye, brain, and hand/foot problems, and new cases show this variability.
research Current Status of Hair Restoration Surgery
In 2011, hair restoration was a specialized field in plastic surgery, using techniques like "Ultrarefined follicular unit hair transplantation" to minimize scarring and promote hair growth, with future treatments like stem cell therapy and hair cloning still being tested.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.
research Alopecia in children
Most hair loss in children is caused by a few common conditions and is easy to diagnose, but rare types require careful evaluation.
research A novel nonsense mutation in the STS gene in a Pakistani family with X-linked recessive ichthyosis: including a very rare case of two homozygous female patients
A new mutation in the STS gene causes X-linked ichthyosis, even in rare female cases.
research Polymorphisms and association of FAT1 gene with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep
The FAT1 gene and its variations can help improve wool quality in Chinese Merino sheep through selective breeding.
