Skin Colour and Pathophysiological Features: From Melanogenesis to Clinical Manifestations

Abstract

Human skin displays remarkable diversity in tone and hue across various population groups. These features mainly depend on the genes that regulate the amount and type of melanin. Small genetic changes, known as SNPs, impact melanin production. These are often linked to lighter skin tones. In this article is discussed about a comprehensive overview of skin pigmentation, integrating molecular biology, genetics, clinical dermatology, and therapeutic.
