Abstract
Vitiligo is an acquired dermatosis characterized principally by skin depigmentation with complex pathogenesis.Recent studies have indicated that vitiligo is a polygenic disease,and generalized vitiligo is particularly closely related to heredity.Many predisposing genes have been discovered for vitiligo,including the glutathione S-transferase gene,Catalase gene,Toll-like receptor gene family,tyrosinase gene,discoidin domain receptor 1 gene,human leukocyte antigen alleles,superoxide dismutase gene,etc.To study the susceptible genes for vitiligo may provide a basis for the elucidation of vitiligo pathogenesis,and greatly benefit the early diagnosis,treatment and prevention of vitiligo,especially generalized vitiligo.
