DNA Polymorphism and Selection at the Melanocortin‐1 Receptor Gene in Normally Pigmented Southern African Individuals

1 Jun 2003

Abstract excerpt

Skin pigmentation is a polygenic multifactorial trait determined by the cumulative effects of multiple genetic variants and environmental factors. Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) is one of the genes involved in pigmentation, and has been implicated in the red hair and pale skin phenotype in human Caucasoid individuals. The present study was undertaken to identify variation at the MC1R locus in normally pigmented...
