In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

This study found significant associations between certain MICA variants and haplotypes with alopecia areata, suggesting MICA as a potential candidate gene linked to the disease's susceptibility and severity.

In this study, alopecia areata was associated with thyroid autoimmunity but not islet autoimmunity, correlating with specific class II HLA haplotypes linked to various autoimmune diseases.

This study found that alopecia areata is linked to genetic factors, specifically HLA haplotypes on chromosome 6, and involves immune privilege collapse at hair follicles which is mediated by the JAK-STAT pathway and pro-inflammatory cytokines like IFN-γ.

Mercury allergy linked to specific genes may contribute to burning mouth syndrome, and silicon might play a role in maintaining healthy hair.
