Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Recent GWAS studies, mostly performed in populations of North European origin, have identified the genetic loci associated with pigmentation, sun sensitivity, freckling and skin cancer susceptibility. Here, we aimed at addressing the genetic determinants of sunlight sensitivity in Spain, a southern European population. METHODS: Nine SNPs located in 8 pigmentation-related genes (IRF4, TYR, ASP,...
