Prevalence of Comorbid Conditions and Sun-Induced Skin Cancers in Patients with Alopecia Areata

Abstract

Alopecia areata is a multifactorial autoimmune disease causing non-scarring hair loss. Recent genome-wide association studies have pointed to connections between alopecia areata and other autoimmune disorders. Research of clinical conditions positively and negatively associated with alopecia areata is crucial for discovering the pathological mechanisms of disease and further treatment options.
