-Vitamin B12 deficiency
-Neurofibromatosis (also called Von Recklinghausen's disease). This group of inherited diseases causes tumors to grow along nerves. It may cause the bones and skin to develop abnormally.
-Tuberous sclerosis. An unusual, inherited condition that causes benign tumors in multiple organs (including the brain, heart, kidneys, eyes, lung and skin)
-Thyroid disease
-Vitiligo. This condition causes melanocytes (the cells at the base of hair follicles that produce color) to be lost or destroyed鈥攑erhaps because the immune system ';misfires'; and attacks the scalp rather than an infection.
-Alopecia areata. A disorder in which patches of hair may be suddenly lost, especially the colored (non-gray) hairs. This may lead to ';overnight'; graying because previously present gray or white hairs suddenly become more obvious. When hair growth resumes, it may be white or gray, but colored hair may eventually return.
-Some research also links premature graying to heart disease and low bone mass (called osteopenia, a precursor of osteoporosis). How these conditions relate to hair graying is unclear. Cigarette smoking can also cause premature graying.How does George Lamb have grey hair?
