    Glossary AIRE gene

    regulates immune tolerance to prevent autoimmune diseases

    The AIRE gene, short for Autoimmune Regulator gene, plays a crucial role in the immune system by helping the body distinguish between its own cells and foreign invaders. Mutations in this gene can lead to autoimmune disorders, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, potentially causing conditions like alopecia areata.
