Alopecia areata is driven by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and is reversed by JAK inhibition

TL;DR: It is shown that cytotoxic CD8+NKG2D+ T cells are both necessary and sufficient for the induction of AA in mouse models of disease, suggesting the potential clinical utility of JAK inhibition in human AA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases A Mendelian Randomization Study

Philip C Haycock, +197 more
- 01 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex

TL;DR: It is shown that APCDD1 is a membrane-bound glycoprotein that is abundantly expressed in human hair follicles, and can interact in vitro with WNT3A and LRP5—two essential components of Wnt signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis in alopecia areata resolves HLA associations and reveals two new susceptibility loci

TL;DR: The first meta-analysis in AA is performed by combining data from two genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and replication with supplemented ImmunoChip data for a total of 3,253 cases and 7,543 controls, finding new molecular pathways disrupted in AA that support the causal role of aberrant immune processes in AA.
