Do hyporesponsive genetic variants of the melanocortin 1 receptor contribute to the etiology of multiple sclerosis?

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2004

Friedman A P

Abstract excerpt

Hyporesponsive genetic variants of the melanocortin 1 receptor result in pigmentary phenotypes exhibiting light skin and light color hair, including red hair. These variants are common in populations with high rates of multiple sclerosis, while rare in populations with low rates. Alpha-melanocyte...
