Genetic polymorphisms associated with clinical and dermoscopic naevus signature patterns

黑色素瘤是一种皮肤癌，由产生色素的细胞引起，是澳大利亚的一个主要公共卫生问题。我们将研究现有类型痣的形式，结构和颜色与其随后发展为黑色素瘤的风险之间的关系。这项研究将结合联合收割机皮肤镜，一种非侵入性的检查技术，与DNA测试的基因，决定数量的痣，皮肤，头发和眼睛的颜色，帮助早期预测和诊断皮肤癌。

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 study will combine dermoscopy, a non-invasive examination technique, with DNA tests of the genes that determine number of naevi, skin, hair and eye colour, aiding in the early prediction and diagnosis of skin cancer.
