Characterization of melanin in human iridal and choroidal melanocytes from eyes with various colored irides

4 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

Variance in iris color is related to the incidence of several important ocular diseases, including uveal melanoma and age-related macular degeneration. The purposes of this study were to determine the quantity and the types of melanin in cultured human uveal melanocytes in relation to the iris color. Sixty-one cell cultures of pure uveal melanocytes were isolated from donor eyes with various iris colors. The...
