Abstract excerpt

Alopecia areata (AA) is characterized by hair loss in patches and may progress to total loss of scalp hair, or total loss of scalp and body hair. The major histocompatibility complex (HLA) is associated with susceptibility to AA, as well as other autoimmune diseases. In addition to HLA molecules, non-HLA molecules including the major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA), a...
