The document discusses a study examining serum homocysteine levels in vitiligo patients compared to healthy controls. The study found no significant difference in homocysteine levels between the two groups. Additionally, homocysteine levels did not significantly correlate with factors like disease severity, duration, or gender. The only significant finding was a correlation between increased homocysteine levels and older age in both patients and controls. The study concludes that elevated homocysteine may not be a precipitating factor for vitiligo.
