Although etiopathogenesis is not fully understood, many studies show remarkable associations between various diseases and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ABO<\/jats:styled-content> blood groups. However, there is no study with AA and blood groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Healthy people and patients with <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AA<\/jats:styled-content> were included in this study. A total of 155 patients with AA and 299 healthy controls were included in the study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>ABO blood group distribution in patients with AA and distribution of healthy donors were similar. However, Rhesus factor positivity in the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AA<\/jats:styled-content> group was significantly higher than in healthy donors. The relationship between stress and AA was high as known. But, ABO blood group and Rhesus factor were not in a significant connection with stress.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conclude that there was no association between ABO blood group and AA, but the observed distribution of Rhesus blood group differed slightly but significantly from that of the healthy population. The result of the study shows a small but statistically significant difference in the Rh blood group between patients with <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AA<\/jats:styled-content> and the healthy population blood groups. This result is important because it suggests that genetic factors may influence the development of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AA<\/jats:styled-content>. The role of blood groups in the development of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AA<\/jats:styled-content> remains to be determined. We believe that the studies which will be carried out in other centers with wider series will be more valuable to support this hypothesis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.12491","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,16]],"date-time":"2018-01-16T04:06:41Z","timestamp":1516075601000},"page":"1271-1274","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Is there an association of ABO blood groups and Rhesus factor with alopecia areata?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8141-3186","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeynep Gizem Kaya","family":"\u0130slamo\u011flu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Faculty of Medicine Selcuk University Konya Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8964-3314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet","family":"Unal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Faculty of Medicine Selcuk University Konya Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2000.103909"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.12980"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4172\/2167-0390.1000105"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5154.135525"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.2013.464"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5455\/bcp.20130227031949"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","first-page":"109","article-title":"Detection of some blood group (ABO, RH\u2010D) and serum protein (HP, a1\u2010AT, TF) polymorphisms in Antakya Province, Turkey","volume":"20","author":"Donbak L","year":"2002","journal-title":"Turkiye Klinikleri J Med Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","unstructured":"Food and Drug Administration.Rockville (MD) Transfusion\/donation fatalities: notification process for transfusion related fatalities and donation related deaths.
