Several candidate genes have been proposed for vitiligo susceptibility. They include genes important for melanin biosynthesis, response to oxidative stress and/or regulation of autoimmunity. A recent genome-wide scan performed on families with numerous members presenting vitiligo has clearly revealed linkage of susceptibility loci.
