Determinants of melanocyte density in adult human skin.

Archives of dermatological research - 1 Sept 1999

Whiteman D C, Parsons P G, Green A C

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of melanocytes in human skin has been observed to vary within and among individuals, yet little is known of the factors that determine the density of these pigment cells. These factors were explored in a molecular epidemiological study conducted among a population-based sample of 97 male subjects aged over 50 years in Queensland, Australia. Information relating to environmental and phenotypic...
