2009 - National Alopecia Areata Foundation

Fast Track to Action in Research, Awareness and Support
Annual Report for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2009
/ The National Alopecia Areata Foundation 2009 Annual Report
Dear Friends:
We want to share with you our very exciting news regarding recent developments and future plans for NAAF.
To build on the success of our general Alopecia Areata Research Summit in 2008, we held a more focused international
Research Summit on the Immunology of Alopecia Areata in 2009. At this summit world-renowned immunologists met directly
with leading alopecia areata researchers for the very first time. This led to intense communication on a level not previously
experienced and generated excitement and enthusiasm among the participants.
We take great pride in the alopecia areata research that we have inspired and funded in the past, especially our genetic
research. What we have learned not only advances our genetic knowledge of alopecia areata but frames and focuses our current immunology research.
Most importantly, the information and data we have gained enables us to fast track our efforts to find a functional treatment or cure that will grow hair back. We can now move forward quickly and comprehensively, investigating all possible immunological avenues and drugs. With this approach, we know that some things will work and some will not—but we can learn
from both success and failure!
We are confident that the focused efforts of this past year have the potential to bring great rewards.
Moreover, we remain committed in our fight to obtain insurance coverage for alopecia areata and federal funding for
research.
We are also unwavering in our determination to create public awareness of this disease. We are pleased to note our efforts have resulted in a #1 ranking on Google—without a penny spent on advertising.
Through our many support programs we continue to provide day-to-day help to the people who need us most—individuals and families struggling with alopecia areata. And we are moved by the outpouring of letters, e-mails, and calls expressing
gratitude.
Won’t you join us and become part of this exciting time? Please review our accomplishments and help us do more.
Regards,
The nation’s leading nonprofit watchdog group, the BBB
Wise Giving Alliance, has found that NAAF operates with
the utmost integrity, transparency, and accountability.
NAAF is proud to be one of the few nonprofits out of the
almost 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States that
meets these strict standards. In addition NAAF meets
all 44 of the standards required for membership in the
National Health Council.

FAST TRACKING TO A PRACTICAL CURE
•
•
The NAAF Research Summit on the Immunology of
Alopecia Areata set priorities to advance alopecia
areata research in the area where we feel we have the
best chance of rapid success.
NAAF conducted this high-powered, fast-paced, collaborative, and interactive summit, which took place in
Denver, Colorado in August, to accelerate a knowledge
of alopecia areata and a search for therapies among
leading immunologists around the globe.
The immunologists in attendance felt that alopecia
areata research could greatly benefit from approaches
used for other autoimmune diseases, and they made
the following recommendations:
1. Use autoantibody specificities to begin to identify
autoimmunity specificity in alopecia areata.
2. Identify antibodies to infectious organisms as clues
to infectious triggers of disease.
3. Develop better models to test T-cell specificities in
alopecia areata as well as possible mechanisms of
disease.
4. Develop new leads in pathogenesis arising from genetic studies, e.g. natural killer cell effects.
5. Develop an approach to screen new treatments that
might be useful in alopecia areata, using drugs developed for other autoimmune diseases.

Studies of gene expression have shown that certain genes
