Melanocytes appear normal in both their morphology and density.

Birbeck et al. (Birbeck et al. 1961) initially reported the presence of DOPA-negative, gold chloride-positive dendritic cells in the basal layer of vitiliginous epidermis. These unique cells existed in numbers similar to that of the basal melanocytes of normal epidermis. Langerhans cells, described as high level clear cells with these specific tinctorial properties, appeared more numerous in vitiliginous lesions (Birbeck et al.
In a small number of families, there will be multiple affected members. Recurrence risks will usually be small. Vitiligo has been considered an autoimmune disorder because of its positive association with other disorders such as thyroiditis, diabetes mellitus and alopecia areata, all of which are thought possibly to have an immune-mediated aetiology (Lerner & Nordlund 1978; Nordlund 1987). However, it remains unclear whether this association is due to chance alone. Case control studies on human leucocyte antigens (HLA) have consistently shown positive association of HLA DR4 with vitiligo and negative association of DR3.
