Our skin tone is a visible echo of our ancestors’ environments. It’s not about beauty standards — it’s about biology, adaptation, and survival. From equatorial sun to northern twilight, human skin has evolved to strike a balance between protection from UV radiation and production of vitamin D. Embracing this diversity...

Skin pigmentation (OBA_VT0002095) is the degree of coloration in the epidermis, primarily determined by the type, quantity, and distribution of melanin produced by melanocytes....
OBA_VT0002095
This local study forms a skin pigmentation baseline by redistributing the strengths of known GWAS loci using population-level inputs only; redistribution is driven by our effect...
POLR1H antisense, pseudogene
major histocompatibility complex, class I, B
HLA-B belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy c...
CDKN2B and CDKN2A antisense cis and trans regulatory RNA 1
This gene is located within the CDKN2B-CDKN2A gene cluster at chromosome 9p21. The gene product is a functional RNA molecule that interacts with polycomb repressive complex-1 (P...
forkhead box P1
This gene belongs to subfamily P of the forkhead box (FOX) transcription factor family. Forkhead box transcription factors play important roles in the regulation of tissue- and...
semaphorin 6D
Semaphorins are a large family, including both secreted and membrane associated proteins, many of which have been implicated as inhibitors or chemorepellents in axon pathfinding...
