Pattern hair loss (PHL) is a common heritable trait affecting both males and females
(MPHL and FPHL, respectively). Although follicular miniaturization is the hallmark
of PHL, assumptions implicating inflammatory infiltration around perifollicular areas
have received attention. Leukocyte migration requires L-selectin, which is encoded by SELL. Several genes, including AR and SRD5A2, were associated with PHL under a non-Asian genetic architecture in a previous genome-wide
association study [
[1]
]. However, no study has yet evaluated the possible genetic effects of SELL polymorphisms in PHL. Thus, we decided to investigate the possible relationship between
the genetic variation of SELL and PHL in the Thai population.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
