Chemical induced pathognomonic features observed in human vitiligo are mediated through miR-2909 RNomics pathway

Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentory disorder of the skin and or mucosa characterized by circumscribed patches or macules of any size owing to the loss or dysfunctioning of melanocytes [1]. Although cause of specific destruction of melanocytes is elusive, an endless number of theories have been proposed amongst which, ‘autoimmune destruction of melanocytes' is the most commonly accepted theory [2].
