Recently, the missense R620W polymorphism in the PTPN22 gene, which encodes lymphoid protein tyrosine phosphatase (LYP), has been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune disorders. The objective of this study was to ascertain if the disease-associated 1858T allele was also associated with generalised (nonsegmental) vitiligo and so the frequencies of the PTPN22 1858C/T alleles were investigated in 165 English patients with generalised vitiligo and 304 ethnically matched control subjects. The results indicated that the 1858T allele was significantly over-represented in the vitiligo patient group compared with the control cohort. Of 330 vitiligo alleles, 48 (14.5%) encoded the Trp620 variant compared to 52 of 608 (8.6%) control alleles (P=0.006; odds ratio=1.82, 95% confidence interval=1.17-2.82). The results indicate that the LYP missense R620W polymorphism may have an influence on the development of generalised vitiligo and provide further evidence for autoimmunity as an aetiological factor with respect to this disease."xsd:string |
