Profile of 513 Patients With Alopecia Areata: Associations of Disease Subtypes With Atopy, Autoimmune Disease, and Positive Family History

The study profiled 513 patients with alopecia areata, examining the associations between disease subtypes and factors such as atopy, autoimmune diseases, and family history. The findings indicated that certain subtypes of alopecia areata were more frequently associated with atopic conditions and autoimmune diseases. Additionally, a positive family history was a significant factor in the prevalence of the disease, suggesting a genetic predisposition. This comprehensive analysis provided valuable insights into the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in alopecia areata.
