First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study examined whether a specific change in the TLR7 gene (rs3853839) is more common in people with alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss. Researchers compared 120 participants—those with alopecia areata and healthy volunteers—to see if the gene variation affects disease risk or severity. The goal is to better understand the genetic factors behind this condition.
