Article Synopsis
  • Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
  • Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
  • Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.

The association between vitiligo and hearing loss has been noted but the specific frequencies and degrees of hearing impairment remain unclear. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate the relationship between vitiligo and hearing thresholds at various specific frequencies. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Waardenburg syndrome is a genetic disorder, resulting in defective control of the division and migration of neural crest cells including the melanocyte lineage during embryonic development. Primary involvement of melanocytes results in the characteristic phenotypic involvement including a white forelock, vitiligo, and heterochromia. Involvement of the organ of Corti leads to sensorineural hearing loss.

Association between vitiligo and hearing loss.

J Am Acad Dermatol

December 2021

Department of Dermatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan; School of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan. Electronic address:

Background: Vitiligo is a common depigmenting disorder caused by the autoimmune destruction of melanocytes. Some evidence suggests the involvement of melanocytes in the auditory system in the disease process. However, the relationship between vitiligo and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) remains uncertain.
