Skin pigmentation polymorphisms associated with increased risk of melanoma in a case-control sample from southern Brazil

Abstract Background Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and is associated with environmental and genetic risk factors. It originates in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pigmentation genes have been described in melanoma risk modulati...
