Genetic variation of promoter sequence modulates XBP1 expression and genetic risk for vitiligo.

Genetic variation of promoter sequence modulates XBP1 expression and genetic risk for vitiligo.

Our previous genome-wide linkage analysis identified a susceptibility locus for generalized vitiligo on 22q12. To search for susceptibility genes within the locus, we investigated a biological candidate gene, X-box binding protein 1(XBP1). First, we sequenced all the exons, exon-intron boundaries as...
