A Professor from the College of Education for Pure Sciences Publishes a Scientific Article on Vitiligo

Scientific Article


The educational staff in the College of Education for Pure Sciences/Department of Life Sciences, Assistant Professor Dr. (Liqa’ Hassoun Sakban), obtained the acceptance to publish a scientific article tagged with the title (Vitiligo) by the Scientific Articles Committee at the Presidency of Karbala University after the article fulfilled all publication conditions. Liqa Hassoun Sakban stated that Vitiligo is a common skin disorder characterized by hypopigmented white spots in the skin due to the loss or death of melanocytes. Cell intrinsic, biochemistry, oxidative stress, melanocyte hemorrhage, as well as reduced melanocyte survival. The autoimmune theory is more accepted in the prevalence of vitiligo, where vitiligo is a complex disorder that includes the common pathogenic effects of genes with multiple susceptibility and unknown environmental factors that lead to the autoimmune destruction of melanocytes, in addition to that patients suffering from genetic variants and their close relatives have high rates of some diseases Other autoimmunities, suggesting that they inherit a specific genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases mediated by shared susceptibility genes, likely underlie the neurological theory of more localized types such as Segmental Vitiligo and Focal Vitiligo. The Koebner phenomenon is an important theory to explain vitiligo, which it considers a heterogeneous pathophysiological disorder with a similar phenotype. This phenomenon focuses on that stress and accumulation of toxic compounds can contribute to ionogenesis, autoimmune dysfunction, mutagenicity, and a cellular environment. Variable, impaired melanocyte migration contributes to disease pathogenesis.
