Association of melanogenesis genes with skin color variation among Japanese females.

Journal of dermatological science - 1 Feb 2013

Abe Yuko, Tamiya Gen, Nakamura Tomohiro, Hozumi Yutaka, Suzuki Tamio

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Skin color mainly reflects pigmentation resulting from melanin. Although many of the detailed molecular mechanisms involved in melanin pigmentation are being revealed, little is understood about the genetic components responsible for variations in skin color within or between human po...
