Abstract excerpt
Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder with several proposed pathogenesis mechanisms and complex multifactorial genetic predisposition. We analyzed 65 polymorphisms in genes potentially relevant to vitiligo pathogenesis mechanism to reveal novel and confirm reported genetic risk factors in general Russian population. We found that polymorphism rs1138272 (TC + CC) in GSTP1 gene encoding enzyme involved in...
