Genome-wide association study in 176,678 Europeans reveals genetic loci for tanning response to sun exposure

The skin’s tanning response to sun exposure shows great interindividual variability. Here, Visconti et al. perform a genome-wide association study for ease of skin tanning and identify 20 genetic loci, ten of which had not previously been associated with pigmentation-related traits.
