Genetic variants in pigmentation genes, pigmentary phenotypes, and risk of skin cancer in Caucasians.

International journal of cancer - 15 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

Human pigmentation is a polygenic quantitative trait with high heritability. Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in pigmentation genes, very few SNPs have been examined in relation to human pigmentary phenotypes and skin cancer risk. We evaluated the associations between 15 SNPs in 8 candidate pigmentation genes (TYR, TYRP1, OCA2, SLC24A5, SLC45A2, POMC, ASIP and...
