Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Measurement of tissue levels of PGF2α in vitiligo patients and compare them with healthy controls.
Measurement of tissue levels of PGF2α in vitiligo patients and compare them with healthy controls to study and verify the hypothesis of involvement of PGF2α in the pathogenesis of vitiligo.• Skin biopsy for assessment of tissue levels of the PGF2α will be taken from both lesional and non lesional skin of patients of vitiligo and from normal skin of healthy controls. All skin biopsies are from non-sun exposed sites.
6 months
Study Arms (2)
vitiligo patients
ACTIVE COMPARATORTwo skin biopsies (lesional and non-lesional) will be taken from every patient.
healthy controls
EXPERIMENTALA skin biopsy will be taken from each control subject.
Interventions
Two skin biopsies (lesional and non-lesional) will be taken from every patient. Also a skin biopsy will be taken from each control subject.
