Response - NO
Brief Summary   The objectives of this study ie immunostaining of  NLRP-1 and histopathological grading especially in the perilesional skin would be able to add significant information to the already available clinically scoring system , to obtain the progression / stability of the disease and  maybe useful in making clinical decisions  in guiding further therapeutic interventions such as performing vitiligo surgery.

The study will be conducted at Amrita Institute of Medical sciences , Kochi.  The study participants are the Vitiligo patients presenting to the Dermatology OPD . Only patients who are willing to be included in the study , co-operative to the need of detailed clinical  and histopathological examination shall be enrolled for the study .

Detailed history taking and clinical examination (based on VETF scoring index ) would be conducted and subsequent classification under as either stable or un-stable vitiligo groups .The patients would be subjected to biopsy procedure, where 2 biopsy samples ie. lesional  & peri-lesional would be collected using the 4mm dermal biopsy punch .The sample would be sent for  histopathological examination and subsequent Immunohistochemistry staining using Anti-NLRP1 anti-body  immunostain. Direct evaluation and grading of the histopathological scoring using Vitiligo Histological scoring system by Yadav et al and presence & intensity of staining Anti-NLRP1 antibody  immunostaining will be done for each patient .
