research Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors Gamma Serum levels and Gene Polymorphism in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Case Control Study

research BG02: Muir‐Torre syndrome: a case of unusual coexisting genetic mutations
This document reported a case of a 13-year-old boy diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia (ED) due to missing and conical-shaped teeth and abnormal hair texture. Initial genetic testing did not reveal any pathogenic variants, but later whole-genome analysis identified compound heterozygous TSPEAR variants, which are linked to autosomal recessive ED. This condition, characterized by hypodontia, conical teeth, and abnormal hair texture, had only been reported in five cases worldwide at the time. The discovery of the TSPEAR gene's role in ED highlights the importance of revisiting earlier genetic test results as new genes are discovered. The boy's affected sister also benefited from this genetic diagnosis for better management and counseling.
research Molecular cloning, characterization, and expression of sheep FGF5 gene
Researchers identified a new variant of the FGF5 gene in sheep that affects hair length.
research Influence of Melatonin Implanting on PDGFA Gene Expression in Skin Hair Follicle

research A mutation in the type II hair keratin KRT86 gene in a Han family with monilethrix
A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.
research Forensic DNA phenotyping: a review on SNP panels, genotyping techniques, and prediction models
Forensic DNA phenotyping faces challenges like inconsistent terms and limited genetic knowledge.
research 708 Polycomb-mediated repression and Sonic hedgehog signaling regulate Merkel cell specification
Sonic hedgehog signaling is needed for the development of touch-receptor cells in the skin, and the loss of Polycomb repressive complex 2 can lead to more of these cells.
research Genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome analyses reveal the key gene for wool type variation in sheep
The SOSTDC1 gene is crucial for determining sheep wool type.
research Serum phoenixin-14 and phoenixin-20 concentrations in polycystic ovary syndrome: Associations with anti-Müllerian hormone and diagnostic utility
This study examined serum phoenixin isoforms, PNX-14 and PNX-20, in 90 women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 60 healthy controls, finding that both isoforms were significantly elevated in women with PCOS. They correlated positively with anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), insulin, and luteinizing hormone (LH), and negatively with sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and HDL cholesterol. The study used various statistical analyses, including ROC analysis, which showed moderate discriminatory performance for PNX isoforms. Although PNX isoforms were associated with key reproductive and metabolic parameters, their diagnostic utility is limited, and further research is needed to confirm these findings.
