A decreasing gradient of 374F allele frequencies in the skin pigmentation gene SLC45A2, from the north of West Europe to North Africa.

Biochemical genetics - 1 Feb 2010

Lucotte Gérard, Mercier Géraldine, Diéterlen Florent, Yuasa Isao

Abstract excerpt

The 374F mutation in the SLC45A2 gene, encoding the membrane-associated transporter protein (MATP) that plays an important role in melanin synthesis, has been suggested to be associated with skin color in Caucasians. In this study, the detailed distribution of the 374F allele has been investigate...
