Effects of nevogenesis susceptibility genes and phenotypic correlation with dermoscopic characteristics of nevi

黑色素瘤是一种皮肤癌，由产生色素的细胞引起，在澳大利亚是一个主要的公共卫生问题。我们将研究现有类型的葡萄胎的形态、结构和颜色与其随后发展为黑色素瘤的风险之间的关系。这将是第一项将皮肤镜这一非侵入性检查技术与决定皮肤、头发和眼睛颜色的基因的DNA测试相结合的研究，有助于皮肤癌的早期预测和诊断。

Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that arises from the cells that produce pigment and is a major public health issue in Australia. We will examine the relationship between the form, structure and colour of existing types of moles and their subsequent risk of developing into melanoma. This will be the first study to combine dermoscopy, a non-invasive examination technique, with DNA tests of the genes that determine skin, hair and eye colour, aiding in the early prediction and diagnosis of skin cancer.
