Abstract excerpt
Recently, the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of alopecia areata (AA) was conducted in a North-American sample, and this identified eight susceptibility loci surpassing genome-wide significance. The aim of the present follow-up association analysis was to confirm five of these eight loci (single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the CTLA4, IL-2RA, and HLA regions were not included due to previous...
