Gene polymorphisms and serum levels of BDNF and CRH in vitiligo patients

Abstract: Background Vitiligo is one of the most common hypomelanoses, in which the destruction of functioning melanocytes causes depigmentation of the skin, hair and mucous membranes. The genes encrypting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) might be the conceivable contributors to the development of vitiligo. This study was aimed at investigation of the serum levels of BDNF and CRH as well as their selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vitiligo patients in com… Show more

“…Vitiligo patients exhibit a higher incidence of stressful life events prior to the onset of their condition 8 . The presence of depression-related polymorphisms in the BDNF and CRH genes and the elevated expression of in ammatory factors in the blood of individuals with pure depression provide evidence that anxiety and depression could not only result from the dis guring appearance of vitiligo, but could also play a signi cant role in the induction or exacerbation of the condition, thus affecting treatment outcomes 9,10 .…”
