Description: VIGOR Research is looking for individuals in the U.S. or Canada with vitiligo, and their family members who do not have vitiligo, for a new online five-year NIH-funded research study. The aim of this study is to understand the causes of vitiligo and predict who might be at risk of developing it. The outcomes of this study will be helpful in learning how to prevent vitiligo and generate ideas for developing a cure by correcting the root causes. VIGOR Research is seeking 1,000 participants, including those who have vitiligo and their family members–including parents, siblings, children, and cousins–without vitiligo. Participants will engage in a five-year study via an online community. All information provided will remain confidential, and all participants will remain anonymous during the entirety of the project.
