- Project Name
- Genetic variants in Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase contribute to solar lentigines
- Description
- Aged individuals often show pigmentation changes in skin epithelium and its appendages. Among these phenotypes, Solar lentigines (SL), characterized by a localized accumulation of melanocytes in skin epidermis, are result from chronic sunlight exposure. Susceptibility to SL varies significantly among individuals, but the underlying genetic mechanisms were not well understood. Here we carried out GWAS of facial and non-facial SL in two East Asian and one Caucasian populations.
