“…There is evidence that the PTPN22 +1858T allele constitutes a generalized risk for vitiligo in a European Caucasian (Romanian) population, highlighting the importance of a genetically mediated autoimmune mechanism in the pathogenesis of vitiligo ( 23 ). By contrast, studies of the segmental form of the disease in Egyptian females failed to find an association with the presence of this polymorphism ( 35 ). Some of these positive findings have been confirmed by a meta-analysis performed on European and Asian populations by Song et al ( 36 ) in 2013.…”

“…40 In contrast, no significant association of PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism with susceptibility to generalized vitiligo was found in Indian Gujarat population, Jordanian, Egyptian female, and Turkish population. 39,[47][48][49] Available literature shows that a variant of PTPN22 C1858T is responsible for increased risk of vitiligo in white patients; however, among nonwhite/Asians, inconsistency exits and even the 2 populations of same country differ in association with PTPN22 C1858T with vitiligo indicating the role of ethnicity. The heterozygous CT genotype, of the PTPN22 C1858T, has a strong association with nonsegmental vitiligo in South Indian Tamils, whereas there is no association of this polymorphism in Indian Gujarat population.…”

“…A meta-analysis utilizing data from different ethnicities shows an association of PTPN22 C1858T with vitiligo in European but not in Asian population [28]. In contrast, no significant association of PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism with susceptibility to generalized vitiligo was found in Indian Gujarat population, Jordanian, Egyptian female, and Turkish population [27,[32][33][34]. Available literature shows that the variant of PTPN22 C1858T is responsible for increased risk of vitiligo in Caucasian patients; however, among non-Caucasians/Asians, inconsistency exits, and even the two populations of same country differ in association of PTPN22 C1858T with vitiligo indicating the role of ethnicity.…”
