Core Tip Sequencing-based HLA typing offers higher resolution and can detect novel HLA alleles in vitiligo that may be missed by serological or conventional molecular methods. While gene expression and association studies are susceptible to false positives, rigorous genome-wide association studies incorporating quality control, population stratification adjustment, and replication enhance reliability. Computational modeling of the HLA-peptide-TCR complex holds promise for guiding the development of targeted precision immunotherapies.
