The most recent studies confirm in the patients, the presence of a genetic legacy with a predisposition to the illness. Futhermore, a virus or some other infectious or sensitizing agent penetrates the body, modifies some intracellular proteins similar to those physiologically present in the hair follicle. It could cause the activation of host immune system to react against its own structures, thus assuming the form of an "autoimmune" illness.
