- Abstract
The article offers information on the levels of serum vitamin B12, folate, ferritin and iron in vitiligo patients. Vitiligo is a polygenic disorder which presents immune-mediated and free radical damage to the melanocytes. Vitamin B12 and folate are reported to be non-significant vitiligo patients while iron and ferritin are known to catalyze free radicals and suppress antibody production, respectively.
