Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]
, 2009 The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

Polymorphisms in MC1R and ASIP Genes are Associated with Coat Color Variation in the Arabian Camel
Journal of Heredity, 2018 Pigmentation in mammals is primarily determined by the distribution of eumelanin and pheomelanin, the ratio of which is mostly controlled by the activity of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and agouti signaling protein (ASIP) genes.

Identification of MC1R SNPs and their Association with Plumage Colors in Asian Duck
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2017 The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene is a candidate functional gene that controls the pigment production in melanocytes. The aim of this study was to identify polymorphisms and investigate the effect of the MC1R gene on plumage coloration in duck ...

Bird Integumentary Melanins: Biosynthesis, Forms, Function and Evolution [PDF]
, 2016 Melanins are the ubiquitous pigments distributed in nature. They are one of the main pigments responsible for colors in living cells. Birds are among the most diverse animals regarding melanin-based coloration, especially in the plumage, although they ...

Animal Genetics, 2019 Autochthonous pig breeds are usually reared in extensive or semi-extensive production systems that might facilitate contact with wild boars and, thus, reciprocal genetic exchanges. In this study, we analysed variants in the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R)

SNP Miniplexes for Individual Identification of Random-Bred Domestic Cats. [PDF]
, 2016 Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the cat can be obtained from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) analyses of fur. This study developed miniplexes using SNPs with high discriminating power for random-bred domestic cats, focusing on ...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 One of the first lines of cutaneous defense against photoaging is (a) the synthesis of melanin and (b) the initiation of an oxidative stress response to protect skin against the harmful effects of solar radiation.

The Influence of MC1R Variants on Facial Aging Rate [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 2015 Aging of the skin is influenced both by intrinsic factors, such as chronological age, and by extrinsic or environmental factors, such as chronic ultraviolet exposure and smoking. Skin photoaging is defined as premature aging of the skin due to chronic sun exposure. Variation in human skin and hair color is due to differences in the absolute amounts and

Epistatic interactions between at least three loci determine the “rat-tail” phenotype in cattle [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: The “rat-tail” syndrome (RTS) is an inherited hypotrichosis in cattle, which is exclusively expressed in diluted coloured hair. The affected animals also suffer from disturbed thermoregulation, which impairs their health and growth ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2016 The membrane bound melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), and the endothelin B receptor (ENDBR) are two G-protein coupled receptors that play important roles in constitutive regulation of melanocytes and their response to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), the main ...
