Vitiligo: Genetics and Psychological Approaches

Abstract This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current research and applications related to the genetic basis and psychological effects of vitiligo. First, genomic studies used to understand the genetic structure of the disease, familial inheritance patterns, and etiological genetic modeling approaches are detailed. This allows for a better understanding of the genetic predisposition and hereditary pathways of vitiligo. At the same time, information regarding the psychosocial status and quality of life of patients and their families is also examined. The study also addresses the impact of psychological interventions and their integration into clinical practice, highlighting that the treatment process requires a multidimensional approach involving not only medical but also psychological support. Furthermore, by evaluating current limitations and future research areas, suggestions are made regarding how the subject may develop in subsequent stages. The primary aim of this review is to contribute to the development of a holistic approach to vitiligo management from both genetic and psychosocial perspectives.
