Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genotype influences erythemal sensitivity to psoralen-ultraviolet A photochemotherapy

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is a highly polymorphic G protein-coupled receptor. Inheritance of various MC1R alleles has been associated with a red hair/fair skin phenotype, increased incidence of skin cancer and altered sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
