Worldwide polymorphism at the MC1R locus and normal pigmentation variation in humans.

Peptides - 1 Oct 2005

Makova Kateryna, Norton Heather

Abstract excerpt

While there have been many advances in our understanding of the genetics of pathological skin pigmentation in humans, our knowledge about what determines variation in normal skin color is still incomplete. Variation in one gene, melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), has been associated with red hair and fair skin in Europeans. However, this gene might also play an important role in shaping pigmentation of other human...
