Abstract |
A study of 46 patients with Alopecia areata in Jerusalem showed a significant increase in the frequency of HLA-B18 (23.9%) as compared to the control population (7.4%) with a relative risk of 3.9%. This association of HLA-B18 with AA was independent of the origin of patients, sex, age of onset and type of alopecia areata.
