research Effect of PTPN22, FAS/FASL, IL2RA and CTLA4 genetic polymorphisms on the risk of developing alopecia areata: A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis

10 citations , November 2021 in “PLoS ONE”

This study suggests that the T allele of the SNP rs2476601 in the PTPN22 gene may increase the risk of alopecia areata, although further studies are necessary to validate this finding across different populations.

This meta-analysis found that the rs2476601 SNP of the PTPN22 gene is significantly associated with reduced susceptibility to alopecia areata, with carriers of the C-allele and CC-genotype having a lower risk.
