Vitiligo DEGs

Refers to the areas of the skin affected by depigmentation in individuals with vitiligo, characterized by clearly defined white patches that lack melanin pigment.

Surrounding the lesional areas, this type exhibits a border of hypo- or hyperpigmentation, indicating the ongoing activity of the disease and potential for further depigmentation.

Describes the unaffected skin surrounding the lesional and peri-lesional areas, typically exhibiting normal pigmentation and serving as a reference for assessing the progression or stability of the condition.

Combined DEGs, or Differentially Expressed Genes, refer to a set of genes that exhibit differential expression patterns in multiple conditions or experimental groups. These genes are identified by comparing gene expression levels between different samples or conditions.
