Genome-wide association study for vitiligo identifies susceptibility loci at 6q27 and the MHC
2010
Youwen Zhou and Xue-Jun Zhang and colleagues report a genome-wide association study of generalized vitiligo, a common autoimmune disorder characterized by loss of melanocytes and depigmentation. The authors identify two independent associations within the MHC region and one new susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q27, which contains the genes RNASET2, FGFR1OP and CCR6.
