Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: vitiligo patients

lesional skin biopsy to measure ERDR1 level

Other: skin biopsy
Skin biopsy for measuring tissue levels of the Erythroid differentiation regulator 1 (Erdr1) cytokine will be taken from the lesional skin of patients of vitiligo and from normal skin of healthy controls.

Experimental: controls
