BackgroundVitiligo is a common depigmentation disorder resulting from destruction of melanocytes, and has both genetic environmental influences. Although genomic analyses have been performed to investigate the pathogenesis vitiligo, lipidomics, metabolomics proteomics serum not reported, role small molecules proteins in vitiligo remains unknown.
