Ok then MC1R has been genetically associated with UV-induced skin damage, skin features like pigmentation, freckles and age spots, and with skin cancer. So it is perhaps not surprising that this gene plays a role in perceived age,” he said. “I suspect larger studies will uncover many other genetic variants and this is only the beginning for this line of research. This could certainly open up new research directions for exploring clinical applications by targeting MC1R. As I am sure you are aware, there is a massive cosmetics industry focused on anti-ageing.”MC1R has been genetically associated with UV-induced skin damage, skin features like pigmentation, freckles and age spots, and with skin cancer.
