Genetic variants are linked to vitiligo and associated autoimmune diseases. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of the rs12150220, rs2670660, and rs6502867 polymorphisms within the human NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 1 ( NLRP1 ) gene. We initially identified 1,306 candidate articles through literature searches of Pubmed, WOS, Embase, CNKI, WANFANGI, Ovid, Scopus, and Cochrane in July 2017. After strict screening, we included 19 eligible case-control studies, and analyzed the data using Stata/SE 12.0 software. No difference between vitiligo cases and controls was detected for NLRP1 rs12150220, rs2670660, or rs6502867 under most genetic models [ P  association ( P value of association test) &gt; 0.05). With regard to vitiligo-associated autoimmune diseases, like Addison's disease, type 1 diabetes, or systemic lupus erythematosus, a decreased risk was detected for rs12150220 in the Caucasian subgroup under all models [ P  association &lt; 0.05, odds ratio (OR) &lt; 1]. No relationships were observed for other polymorphisms, including rs2670660, rs6502867, and the "A-A, G-T, G-A, A-T" haplotypes of rs2670660/rs12150220 ( P  association &gt; 0.05). This meta-analysis demonstrates that within the Caucasian population, the NLRP1 rs12150220 polymorphism may correlate with a decreased risk of vitiligo-associated autoimmune diseases, especially autoimmune Addison's disease, type 1 diabetes, or systemic lupus erythematosus.
