Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) may contribute to the process of autoimmune attacks on hair follicles. To investigate whether the TLR1 gene polymorphisms are associated with the development and clinical features of alopecia areata (AA), a case-control comparison of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs4833095, Asn248Ser and rs5743557, -414C > T) of TLR1 were studied in 239 AA patients and 248 controls. Using...
