Current opportunities and challenges: genome-wide association studies on pigmentation and skin cancer.

Pigment cell & melanoma research - 1 Sept 2012

Meng Shasha, Zhang Mingfeng, Liang Liming, Han Jiali

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become a widely used approach for genetic association studies of various human traits. A few GWAS have been conducted with the goal of identifying novel loci for pigmentation traits, melanoma, and non-melanoma skin cancer. Nevertheless, the phenotype variation explained by the genetic markers identified so far is limited. In this review, we discuss the GWAS study design...
