FOXP3 and vitiligo: To further evaluate the FOXP3 gene polymorphisms and their involvement in vitiligo pathogenesis, recent studies from Indian and Han Chinese populations screened three promoter SNPs of FOXP3 gene (rs3761548, rs2232365, and rs5902434) and found significant association of rs3761548 and rs2232365 with vitiligo risk (Jahan et al., 2013; Song et al., 2013).
