Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder with genetic predisposition , if any family members are involved chances increases by close relativeness , but there are no tests to predict it's occurrence in a particular person and not necessarily daughter or grandson will be affected as the percentage varies from 6 to 30 and it's a disease which requires a social acceptance
Disease can be brought under control with medications.
