Description
Summary:	[7] The present study aimed to detect the association of NPY gene 399T/C polymorphism and vitiligo to explore if it increased disease risk or influenced clinical presentation in Egyptian patients. Detection of NPY gene polymorphism was done by restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction. [1] This controversy can be explained by different clinical criteria and ethnic backgrounds of selected populations. [...]based on the current finding, NPY antagonists may be used in future for vitiligo treatment.
