The National Alopecia Areata Registry (NAAR) is an organization sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). The NAAR is comprised of five sites: the central Houston, TX site located at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and sites in Denver, CO, New York, NY, Minneapolis, MN, and San Francisco, CA.

The Registry will be a resource of clinical data and selected biological research samples, stored in a central repository and available to investigators studying the disease. The Registry does not offer treatment for alopecia areata. But, in collecting genetic and environmental factors that predispose for alopecia areata, we may develop better medications, new clinical trials, and perhaps a cure.

Please consider registering with us! Individuals who are both affected and unaffected by alopecia areata can join.
