AB  - In this issue, Singh and co-workers describe the results of classical typing of 
      human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles in 1,404 vitiligo patients and 902 
      unaffected controls from North India and follow-up HLA typing in 355 cases and 
      441 controls from Gujarat. The increased frequency of DRB1*07:01 in North Indian 
      and Gujarat populations with generalized and localized vitiligo and in several 
      vitiligo populations studied previously suggests that it contributes to 
      autoimmunity and destruction of melanocytes.
