Is it PreTest questions?
Vitiligo affects 0.5 to 2% of the population. Etiology is unknown, but melanocytes are lacking in affected areas; some patients have antibodies to melanin. Up to 30% have other autoimmune antibodies (to thyroglobulin, adrenal cells, and parietal cells) or clinical autoimmune endocrinopathies (Addison's disease, diabetes mellitus, pernicious anemia, and thyroid dysfunction), leading to speculation that vitiligo is an autoimmune disease. However, the relationship is unclear and may be coincidental. The strongest association is with hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) and hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's thyroiditis).
