Predictive testing of the melanocortin 1 receptor for skin cancer and photoaging.

Skin therapy letter - 1 Jan 2010

Lynde C W, Sapra S

Abstract excerpt

Genetic predisposition to melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer extends far beyond the Fitzpatrick phenotype classification scheme. Specific alleles of the gene that codes for the malnocortin 1 receptor are predictive of skin cancer risk independent of skin type and hair color. The ability to identify high risk patients independent of the red hair phenotype may help to modify routine sun and skin monitoring...
