Evidence for an Autoimmune Pathogenesis of Vitiligo

TL;DR: A variety of arguments from clinical observations to research findings in human and animal models support the hypothesis of autoimmunity, and new insights in the association of vitiligo and melanoma may help to clarify the role of autoIMmunity in the development of Vitiligo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homozygosity for a missense mutation in fibulin-5 (FBLN5) results in a severe form of cutis laxa

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a genetic defect in fibulin-5 (FBLN5, also known as EVEC or DANCE) is responsible for a recessive form of cutis laxa in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The quest for the mechanism of melanin transfer.

TL;DR: A central role has been established for the protease‐activated receptor‐2 of the keratinocyte which effectuates melanin transfer via phagocytosis, and clues as to what mechanism and molecular machinery will arise with the identification of the function of specific genes which are mutated in diseases that affect transfer are being identified.

Hypomelanoses and hypermelanoses

TL;DR: The Griscelli syndrome presents in accelerated phase with neurological involvement and the role of mutations in the RAB27A gene as an indication for BMT is unclear.
