Identification of four novel melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene variants in a Mediterranean population.

Human mutation - 1 Jun 2003

Abstract excerpt

The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene is a major determinant of human pigmentation and specific allelic variants have been associated with red hair and sun sensitive skin types as well as increased skin cancer risk in Caucasian individuals. We screened for allelic variants the entire MC1R coding region of 100 unrelated individuals sampled from an Italian population who has darker pigmentary traits than...
