The contribution of melanocortin 1 receptor gene polymorphisms and the agouti signalling protein gene 8818A>G polymorphism to cutaneous melanoma and basal cell carcinoma in a Polish population.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we assessed the role of melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and agouti signalling protein (ASIP) polymorphisms in cutaneous melanoma and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) development in a Polish population. We enrolled 108 patients with skin malignant melanoma (MM) and 102 patients with BCC. The control group consisted of 93 non-red haired patients, without history of skin cancers and 30 healthy individuals...
