Project Details
Description
More than 65% of melanomas may be linked to intense, intermittent sun exposure, particularly during childhood. Given that increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation is considered the primary environmental factor contributing to the development of cutaneous malignant melanoma, it is plausible that polymorphisms in genes encoding proteins involved in repairing UVB-induced DNA damage—such as *XPD* and *MC1R* gene polymorphisms—play a role.
