• openAccess   Comparison of the transcriptional profiles of melanocytes from dark and light skinned individuals under basal conditions and following ultraviolet-b irradiation 

      López, Saioa; Smith-Zubiaga, I.; García de Galdeano, Alicia; Boyano, Dolores; García, Oscar; Gardeazábal, Jesús; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; Izagirre, Neskuts; de la Rúa, Concepción; Alonso, Santos Public Library of Science (2015)
      We analysed the whole-genome transcriptional profile of 6 cell lines of dark melanocytes (DM) and 6 of light melanocytes (LM) at basal conditions and after ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation at different time points to investigate ...
    • openAccess   Involvement of ANXA5 and ILKAP in Susceptibility to Malignant Melanoma 

      Santos, Alonso; Ribas, Gloria; Ibarrola-Villava, Maider; Peña Chilet, María; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; Gardeazabal, Jesús; Careaga, Jesús María; Pérez-Yarza, Gorka; Sánchez-Díez, Ana; Ratón-Nieto, Juan Antonio; Arroyo-Berdgo, Yoana; Carretero, Gregorio; Martín González, Manuel; Gómez Fernández, Cristina; Nagore, Eduardo; Asumendi, Aintzane; Boyano, Dolores Public Library of Science (2014)
      Single nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) are a source of diversity among human population, which may be responsible for the different individual susceptibility to diseases and/or response to drugs, among other phenotypic ...
    • openAccess   Sex-specific genetic effects associated with pigmentation, sensitivity to sunlight, and melanoma in a population of Spanish origin 

      Hernando, Barbara; Ibarrola-Villava, Maider; Fernández, Lara P.; Peña Chilet, María; Llorca-Cardeñosa, Marta J.; Oltra, Sara S.; Alonso, Santos; Boyano, Dolores; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; Ribas, Gloria BioMed Central (2016-03)
      Background Human pigmentation is a polygenic quantitative trait with high heritability. In addition to genetic factors, it has been shown that pigmentation can be modulated by oestrogens and androgens via up- or ...
    • openAccess   Simultaneous purifying selection on the ancestral MC1R allele and positive selection on the melanoma-risk allele V60L in South Europeans 

      Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; López, Saioa; Ribas, Gloria; Flores, Carlos; García, Oscar; Sevilla, Arrate; Smith-Zubiaga, I.; Ibarrola-Villava, Maider; Pino-Yanes, M .; Gardeazabal, Jesús; Boyano, Dolores; García de Galdeano, Alicia; Izagirre, Neskuts; de la Rúa, Concepción; Alonso, Santos Oxford University Press (2013)
      In humans, the geographical apportionment of the coding diversity of the pigmentary locus melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) is, unusually, higher in Eurasians than in Africans. This atypical observation has been interpreted ...
    • openAccess   The Interplay between Natural Selection and Susceptibility to Melanoma on Allele 374F of SLC45A2 Gene in a South European Population 

      López, Saioa; García, Oscar; Yurrebaso, Iñaki; Flores, Carlos; Acosta-Herrera, Marialbert; Chen, Hua; Gardeazabal, Jesús; Careaga, Jesús María; Boyano, Dolores; Sánchez, Ana; Ratón-Nieto, Juan Antonio; Sevilla, Arrate; Smith-Zubiaga, I.; García de Galdeano, Alicia; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; Izagirre, Neskuts; de la Rúa, Concepción; Alonso, Santos Public Library of Science (2014)
      We aimed to study the selective pressures interacting on SLC45A2 to investigate the interplay between selection and susceptibility to disease. Thus, we enrolled 500 volunteers from a geographically limited population ...
