Association of CAT 389 T/C and − 89 T/A gene polymorphisms with vitiligo: relation with oxidative stress

Conclusion: The T allele of CAT 389 may be a susceptibility risk factor for vitiligo and the combined CCAT genotype may be protective in the studied sample of patients. Decreased levels of CAT with increased levels of MDA may indicate increased oxidative stress in nonsegmental vitiligo patients.
