Study of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) in 13 cases of familial frontal fibrosing alopecia: CYP21A2 gene p.V281L mutation from congenital adrenal hyperplasia linked to HLA class I haplotype HLA-A*33:01; B*14:02; C*08:02 as a genetic marker.

CYP21A2 gene p.V281L mutation can be used as a genetic marker for susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia. Both the linkage of the mutation to F16A and the fact that F16A-negative patients share other human leukocyte antigen class I haplotype, point to an antigen-driven mechanism in susceptible patients with these haplotypes.
