Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is a complex disease in which patchy depigmentation is the result of an autoimmune-induced loss of melanocytes in affected regions. On the basis of a genome-wide linkage analysis of vitiligo in the Chinese Han population, we previously showed significant evidence of a linkage between 22q12 and vitiligo. Our aim in the current study was to identify vitiligo susceptibility variants within an...
