Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported hyperhomocysteinemia in vitiligo patients, suggesting the potential role of elevated homocysteine levels in precipitating vitiligo. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to estimate homocysteine and vitamin B12 levels, and to investigate the role of MTHFR 677 C > T and 1298 A > C polymorphisms in vitiligo susceptibility in Gujarat population. METHODS: Homocysteine and vitamin B12 levels...
