I am considering a boy to get married to whose parents are suffering from leukoderma (vitiligo). He has a twin sister who is also suffering from vitiligo. Please explain me would that affect the future offspring. I have read somewhere that vitiligo is hereditary. Is it true? Should I consider the proposal and go ahead?

Yes, it comes in hereditary. And your offspring which you get will definitely have chances to get vitiligo. You can go ahead with proposal, but on the other side, please start the treatment for it, basically homeopathic treatment, as only this mode of treatment can change genetic code of the patient ant treat such hereditary diseases. So if you wish to go ahead. You can. But watch out for this side also. Take care:)
