Alopecia areata susceptibility variant identified by MHC risk haplotype sequencing reproduces symptomatic patched hair loss in mice
2018-04-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Alopecia areata (AA) is a highly heritable multifactorial and complex disease. However, no convincing susceptibility gene has yet been pinpointed in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a region in the human genome known to be associated with AA as compared to other regions. <h4>Results</h4> By sequencing MHC risk haplotypes, we identified a variant (rs142986308, p.Arg587Trp) in the co...
