Genetics

I was wondering how many alopecians out here have direct family members with alopecia. I have had alopecia since I was 4 years old but no one in my family even extended family had alopecia. So my family never really knew where it came from so I was just curious how many people were the first in their family to have it or have other family members with it also.

Hi Larisa,
Well I am the only one (so far as I know) in my extended family to have alopecia. I also have had eczema and allergies. My mother's sister has eczema. From what I remember my grandmother didn't have much hair...she lived in England so not much contact. Don't know much on my father's side...most are not on this continent.
