Low iron storescan be a possible contributing factor in TE. Although etiopathogenesis is not fully understood, many studies show remarkableassociations between various diseases and ABO blood groups. Genomewide association studies have reported alleles in the ABO locus to be associated with ferritin levels. We had done this study with TE patients to detect serum ferritin levels and to find this relation between blood groups.Material and Methods: Healthy people and patients with TE were included in this study. A total of 103 females who have telogen effluvium and 125 controls were included.Results: ABO blood group and Rhesus factor distribution in patients with TE and distribution of healthy donors were similar. There haven’t any significant association between ferritin levels and blood groups in TE patients.Conclusion: There are many different causes in TE etiology, for this reason in our opinion, ferritin levels and other laboratory tests must be done. We conclude that there was no evocation between ABO blood groups, Rhesus factor and ferritin levels in TE, but this is the first study that can show this relationship and can be important for new studies which will be carried out in other centers with wider series.en10.5455/jtomc.2018.04.059info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcil TıpAdli TıpAlerjiAnatomi ve MorfolojiAndrolojiAnesteziBiyofizikBiyokimya ve Moleküler BiyolojiBiyolojiBiyoteknoloji ve Uygulamalı MikrobiyolojiCerrahiDermatolojiEndokrinoloji ve MetabolizmaEnfeksiyon HastalıklarıFizyolojiGastroenteroloji ve HepatolojiGenel ve Dahili TıpGeriatri ve GerontolojiGöz HastalıklarıHalk ve Çevre SağlığıHematolojiHücre BiyolojisiİmmünolojiKadın Hastalıkları ve DoğumKalp ve Kalp Damar SistemiKlinik NörolojiKulakBurunBoğazMikrobiyolojiNörolojik BilimlerOdyoloji ve Konuşma-Dil PatolojisiOnkolojiOrtopediPatolojiPediatriPeriferik Damar HastalıklarıPsikiyatriRadyolojiNükleer TıpTıbbi GörüntülemeRehabilitasyonRomatolojiSağlık Bilimleri ve HizmetleriSolunum SistemiSpor BilimleriTamamlayıcı ve Entegre TıpTemel Sağlık HizmetleriTıbbi Araştırmalar DeneyselTıbbi EtikTıbbi İnformatikTıbbi Laboratuar TeknolojisiTransplantasyonTropik TıpÜroloji ve NefrolojiYoğun BakımTıpArticle253327329
