Overcoming genetic drivers in alopecia areata: Hair regrowth in a patient with AIRE gene mutation (APECED syndrome) treated with ruxolitinib

We report complete hair regrowth in a patient with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy associated alopecia areata following treatment with a Janus kinase inhibitor. This highlights the effectiveness of JAKI in treating AA associated with genetic disease as well as sporadic AA.
