Entry
H01372                      Disease                                
Name
Vitiligo
  Subgroup
Vitiligo-associated multiple autoimmune disease (VAMAS)
Description
Vitiligo is a common, multifactorial, polygenic disease in which autoimmune loss of melanocytes results in depigmented spots of skin, overlying hair, and mucous membranes. Some familial forms of vitiligo have recently been linked to polymorphisms in the innate immunity gene, NLRP1.
