Pigmentation genes link Parkinson's disease to melanoma, opening a window on both etiologies.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Mar 2009

Herrero Hernández Elena

Abstract excerpt

Melanomas occur more frequently among subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) and a biological explanation for this epidemiological observation is lacking. It is also well-known that pigmentation genes play an important role in the development of melanomas. It is therefore suggested that the link between both diseases resides in genes that regulate pigmentation. Among these, those involved in the synthesis of...
