How Does the National Alopecia Areata Registry Work?
The National Alopecia Areata Registry is located at five sites across the United States where patients are examined and registered, and blood and tissue samples are taken when appropriate. The samples and data are sent to Houston, Texas, where they are collected and stored by the Principal Investigator. A Steering Committee made up of key members of the Registry oversees the functions of the Registry and determines the distribution of material to appropriate investigators. NAAF’s CEO serves on this Steering Committee.
