Can Genetics play a role to the vitiligo

Can Genetics play a role?
Most people who have vitiligo neither parents nor children or brothers and sisters with vitiligo. Many have no other family members with vitiligo. vitiligo seems to be hereditary, which is, it can run in families. Children whose parents have the disease are more likely to develop vitiligo. There is no doubt about that. However, most children will not receive vitiligo, even if a parent, and most people with vitiligo have no family history of the disease. Hence, the chances of your child developing vitiligo seem to be very low. However, there is a sufficient number of families in which vitiligo is between brothers, fathers and son, so that we can assume a genetic factor.

How to develop vitiligo?
The beginning of vitiligo and severity of pigment loss varies from one patient. At skinned people usually notice of loss of pigment during the summer, the contrast between the skin and suntanned skin becomes vitiliginous different. People with dark skin may see the emergence of vitiligo at any time. People who have severe cases of pigments about losing their entire body surface area. It is impossible to predict how much pigment of a person to lose, disease and stress May result in the loss of more than pigment. The degree of loss of pigment May vary within each vitiligo patch, and a border abnormally dark skin can surround a patch of skin depigmented.

Often starts with vitiligo the rapid loss on pigment May which followed a period of time in which skin colour changes nothing. Later, loss of pigment May resume - perhaps after the individual has suffered physical trauma or stress. The loss of color may continue until, for unknown reasons, the process stops. Cycles loss of pigment, followed by periods of stability May continue indefinitely. It is rare for a patient with vitiligo or recover repigment skin colour spontaneously. Most patients who say they have no vitiligo May have actually become depigmented and are no longer hampered by contrasting colour. Although these patients appear to be "cured", which in fact are not. People who have vitiligo through his body does not look like albino, because the color of her hair can not change - or it can be dyed - eye color and does not change.
