NIH Rare Diseases: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is a condition that involves chronic inflammation of melanocytes, which are specialized cells that produce a pigment called melanin. Melanin is the substance that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. Melanin is also found in the retina, where it plays a role in normal vision. Individuals with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome usually develop vision and hearing disturbances first, followed by signs of skin problems. Research suggests this condition is an autoimmune disease. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is more common in individuals with darker skin pigmentation including Asian, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, and Native American populations.30
MalaCards: Vogt-koyanagi-harada Disease, also known as uveomeningoencephalitic syndrome, is related to sympathetic ophthalmia and hepatitis. An important gene associated with Vogt-koyanagi-harada Disease is TYR (tyrosinase (oculocutaneous albinism IA)), and among its related pathways are IL-15 Signaling and its Primary Biological Effects in Different Immune Cell Types and Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). The compounds agar and endotoxin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include retina, skin and t cells, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and renal/urinary system. Disease Ontology: An autoimmune disease that is caused by t helper cell mediated autoimmune attack of melanocytes resulting in inflammation of the inside of the eye, whitening of hair, skin pigment loss, and meningitis.6 |
