MC1R and IRF4 gene variants associate with p16INK4a positive epidermal cells. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cases in sun-protected skin are estimated to be between 20-33% of total cases, highlighting a non-ultraviolet radiation (UVR) influence on BCC incidence. Here, we tested the...

How does the redhead MC1R mutation cause red hair? New @plosbiology.bsky.social study shows that the R151C & R160W mutations affect binding of MC1R to the #BBSome in the primary cilium of #melanocytes after UV exposure, impacting the downstream stimulation of #melanogenesis - plos.io/4eZYebx
