[Research Progressin Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of Vitiligo Susceptibility Gene].

Vitiligo is a depigmentation disease affected by a variety offactors,of which genetic factors play a key role.Single nucleotide polymorphism as a common type of genetic variation can be detected by candidate gene analysis and genome-wide association study.The recent studies have demonstrated that multiple susceptibility genes play a vital role in the occurrence and development of vitiligo.This article introduces the single nucleotide polymorphisms of vitiligo susceptibility genes according to the gene functions.
