Excessive sunlight can cause melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer. However, there are other factors including a person's genetic make-up that are thought to put some people at higher risk. Many 'healthy' people have small changes in their genes that might make them more likely to develop melanoma. We need to know more about these genetic factors. Our study will investigate how particular small genetic changes influence a person's likelihood of developing melanoma.

过多的阳光会导致黑色素瘤，一种严重的皮肤癌。然而，还有其他因素，包括一个人的基因构成，被认为会使一些人面临更高的风险。许多“健康”的人在基因上有微小的变化，这可能使他们更容易患上黑色素瘤。我们需要更多地了解这些遗传因素。我们的研究将调查特定的微小基因变化如何影响一个人患黑色素瘤的可能性。
