Identification of novel candidate loci for anorexia nervosa at 1q41 and 11q22 in Japanese by a genome-wide association analysis with microsatellite markers.

abstract：:Most studies on the genetic basis of human skin pigmentation have focused on people of European ancestry and only a few studies have focused on Asian populations. We investigated the association of skin reflectance and freckling with genetic variants of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene in Japanese. DNA samples were...
