Genetic implications in vitiligo and vitiligo-associated diseases

Vitiligo is a chronic, asymptomatic, disease that affects the patient from a cosmetic point of view. It is characterized by the appearance of depigmented areas on the skin or mucous membranes. Depending on the morphology of the lesions, vitiligo can be classified into: segmental, non-segmented or mi...
