Abstract:Background: Several markers have been discovered and validated for alopecia areata (AA). However, their exact roles have not yet been fully studied. Erythroid differentiation regulator 1 (Erdr1), an IL-18-regulated factor, is one of these novel markers.

Methodology: Twenty-five AA patients and 10 healthy control subjects were included in the study. The level of skin expression… Show more
