This study reported that the IL1A 4-bp indel polymorphism is associated with a reduced risk of alopecia areata in Chinese populations, possibly through miR-122 mediated regulation of IL-1α expression.

This study found no significant association between the IL-15 genetic polymorphism (rs17015014) and the risk or severity of Alopecia Areata in the examined population.

In this study, minoxidil significantly downregulated interleukin-1 alpha expression in human keratinocyte cells, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect that may be a mechanism of action in treating alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that the rs3118470 mutation in the IL2RA gene significantly increases the risk of developing alopecia areata, and they emphasize the need for future research with larger, more diverse populations to validate these results.

This systematic review reported an association between specific interleukin gene polymorphisms (IL-17A, IL-18, IL17RA, and IL16) and alopecia areata, suggesting further genetic studies are needed to confirm the interleukins' role in the disorder's progression.
