Detailed data on the natural history of alopecia areata, and on the epidemiology of disease will be very useful to understand who gets this disease, how it progresses, and other diseases with which it is associated. DNA from patients collected in the second tier of the registry will greatly facilitate genetic studies, allowing power far beyond that achieved by any one investigator at one site. Careful collection of detailed clinical information will facilitate genetic studies of disease subsets, leading to new genetic insights. New investigators may do immunologic and other studies who don’t have access to their own group of carefully defined alopecia areata patients. How do I Register Patients? Registering patients is easy to do. Simply go to www.alopeciaareataregistry.org, click on the Enroll Here link on the sidebar, and click on Short Form Questionnaire. The Sh
