Introduction: Genodermatoses refer to a group of heterogenous rare genetic diseases with cutaneous expression. Several genodermatoses present with multisystem involvement that can range from mild to life-threatening conditions leading to increased morbidity and mortality.
Objective: Given the paucity in the literature in the field of genodermatoses, especially in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and building upon the first established genodermatoses database based in Lebanon, this study aimed to decipher the genetic basis of two different types of skin-inherited diseases (androgenic alopecia and vitiligo).

Background: Inflammatory dermatological conditions, including psoriasis, lichen planus, eczema, and alopecia areata, are frequently accompanied by nail findings and can have a significant impact on quality of life. Biologic and small-molecule medications have been approved over the past several decades in treating patients with these inflammatory nail disorders. They may be used in conjunction with longstanding mainstays of treatment (topical and intralesional corticosteroids, topical vitamin D3 analogs).

Alopecia universalis (AU) is a severe form of alopecia areata characterized by the complete loss of scalp and body hair. While Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors like baricitinib have shown promise in promoting hair regrowth in severe cases of AU, unexpected side effects, such as hair depigmentation, have not been widely reported. We present the case of a young male with AU who experienced progressive and extensive whitening of his scalp and body hair following treatment with baricitinib.

Introduction: Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor widely administered for the treatment of various malignancies. Despite its effectiveness, its distinctive mechanism of action may lead to immune-related adverse events, most frequently affecting cutaneous tissues. Hair-related adverse events, although uncommon, include conditions such as alopecia areata and alterations in hair texture or type.
