Özet
FAS and FAS ligand (FASLG) are important proapoptotic proteins that have a significant function in regulating cell growth and apoptosis and play essential roles in many human autoimmune diseases. Alopecia areata (AA) is hypothesized to be an organ-specific autoimmune disease mediated by T cells to the hair follicles. The concept of an autoimmune mechanism as the basis for AA led us to investigate a possible association between the FAS and FASLG polymorphism with AA susceptibility and disease progression on AA patients in Turkish population. The study group consisted of 118 unrelated patients with AA and 118 unrelated healthy controls. We genotyped FAS−670 A/G and FASLG−124 A/G polymorphisms and assessed their association with AA risk. A statistically significant difference was observed between patients and controls according to genotype frequencies of FAS gene (p = 0.0002). GG genotype …
