This study found that female patients with ankylosing spondylitis have a high association with the HLA-B27 antigen, similar to previous findings in males.

This study reports that some human cell surface HLA-I molecules (including HLA-B27) can appear without their usual peptide component, potentially altering immune interactions, influencing arthritis development in specific mice models, and exhibiting upregulation in certain cancer cells.

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 HLA and beta 2-microglobulin antigens in various skin structures, with specific localization patterns in keratinocytes and hair follicle components, but not in eccrine or apocrine glands.

This study observed a strong negative association between the HLA-DQB1*0201 allele and the alopecia totalis/alopecia universalis phenotype in Caucasian individuals, indicating a potential protective role.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

Certain immune system genes are linked to a higher risk of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, while others may offer protection.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss, linked to specific hair follicle antigens and genetic factors.

This study found that zinc treatment in alopecia areata patients may increase CD8+ cells, suggesting its effectiveness could be due to immunomodulation.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease with genetic links, treatable with certain medications, and can affect mental health.

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.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential for developing more effective treatments.

Genetic factors alone might not cause pemphigus vulgaris; other factors like birth complications and puberty may trigger it.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

This study identified four genetic loci on chromosomes 6, 10, 16, and 18 that may contribute to susceptibility for alopecia areata and suggested shared genetic factors with psoriasis.

This study observed that dandruff-affected scalp skin has increased T-cell infiltration in the epidermis and a reduction in the hair follicle's physiological immune privilege, particularly in the suprabulbar outer root sheath area, indicating a distinct immune microenvironment compared to healthy scalp.

In this study, researchers observed that alopecia areata patients showed higher Th1 and Th2 responses against specific melanogenesis-related protein epitopes, suggesting a role in disease activity and potential targets for diagnostics and therapies.

This study found that DNA is present at low levels in human hair shafts, with higher amounts near the root, and that its levels decrease after surfactant washing and colorant treatments.

This article reviews potential causes of frontal fibrosing alopecia but does not provide new clinical findings.

This case report describes a possible association between Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and linear IgA/IgG bullous dermatosis in a 35-year-old Japanese male, though coincidence cannot be ruled out.

This article discusses the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, histopathology, and treatment of alopecia areata but reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the palliative nature of current treatments.

This study identified somatostatin as a potential secretory factor contributing to the immune privilege of human hair follicles.

This study found that adolescents carrying the HLA-B27 antigen who engaged in intense physical activity were more likely to develop ankylosing spondylitis, although not all predisposed individuals were affected, indicating other genetic and environmental factors might also play a role.

Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.

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 suggests that StemMACS MSC Expansion Media is more suitable than PowerStem MSC1 media for expanding therapeutic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, with less expression of negative markers and better chromosomal stability.

In this study of clinical-grade ADMSCs, researchers found that cells expanded in PowerStem MSC1 media exhibited increased negative marker expression, chromosomal abnormalities, and signs of senescence compared to those cultured in StemMACS MSC Expansion Media, suggesting that the latter is more suitable for therapeutic applications.

This study found that in psoriasis patients, the K17 protein probably functions as an autoantigen, with the HLA-Cw*06:02 risk genotype strongly linked to the T cell response size.

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 reports a strong association between the MICA locus, specifically the MICA∗3-DR∗6-DQ6 haplotype, and Alopecia Areata in families.
