HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, It is difficult to say that vitiligo is purely genetic disease because this is multifactorial polygenic disorders having complex pathogenesis it may be genetic or non genetic, if the both parents have the genetic factors then the chances of having disease to their children will be high but one have genetic and another have non genetic then chances for having the vitiligo in their children will be less, this is not just limited here but the classification also plays the role in hereditary sharing the same class of disease by both the mother and father then chances of hereditary would be more, in short its all depends upon the complete case study of both mother and father, hope this information helps you.
