Abstract excerpt
Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Oxidative stress is considered to be the initial pathogenic event in the melanocyte destruction. NF-E2-related factor2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor regulating the expression of detoxifying and antioxidant genes. To investigate the association of the Nrf2 gene promoter polymorphisms with vitiligo in Chinese Han population, the...
