Genetics and Alopecia Areata: What We Know

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 – 7PM ET/ 6PM CT/ 4PM PT

Alopecia areata is believed to have a strong genetic basis. Over the past 20 years, significant advances in genetic research have led to new discoveries and important new therapies. Join Dr. Leslie Castelo-Soccio as she provides an overview of the key findings so far, summarizes the genetic methods used in these studies, and discusses why there isn’t a single genetic test for alopecia areata. She will also explore the challenges that future research still needs to address.
