A review of genetic disorders of hypopigmentation: lessons learned from the biology of melanocytes

23 Jun 2009

Abstract excerpt

Inherited diseases of pigmentation were among the first traits studied in humans because of their easy recognition. The discovery of genes that regulate melanocytic development and function and the identification of disease-causative mutations have greatly improved our understanding of the molecular basis of pigmentary genodermatoses and their underlying pathogenetic mechanisms. Pigmentation mutants can account...
