Gene context of Pigmentation Disorders

  • Phenotypic similarities to some pigmentation disorders in human and mouse, combined with comparative mapping data, identified KIT, encoding the mast cell growth factor receptor, as a major candidate gene for the roan locus (Rn) [11].
  • In the other diseases, the mean values of IgA-CIC (SLE, 72 micrograms/ml; EM, EN, 0 microgram/ml; Schamberg's disease, 5 micrograms/ml) were not statistically different from that of normal controls [12].
  • These data, together with the wide spectrum of mutant alleles reported in mi mice (which have pigmentary disorders), suggest that MITF could be regarded as a candidate gene in various pigmentation disorders in man [13].
