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.

In this study, researchers found that most patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia lacked the protective rs1800440 polymorphism in the CYP1B1 gene, suggesting its potential role in the development of this condition, while a significant number carried the rs9258883 polymorphism in HLA-B*07:02.

This study identified an association between alopecia areata and the MICA*009 and HLA-B14 genetic markers, highlighting the importance of studying them together to better understand their role in this condition.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This study reported that vitiligo patients in Turkey had a high prevalence of associated autoimmune diseases and auditory problems, suggesting vitiligo may be part of a systemic autoimmune process.
