Investigating DNA methylation as a potential mediator between pigmentation genes, pigmentary traits and skin cancer

2020-04-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Incidence rates for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), which includes basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), have been steadily increasing in all populations. Populations of European ancestry exhibit the highest rates and therefore, have been widely studied. Pigmentation characteristics are well-known risk factors for skin cancer, particularly fair skin, red h...
