Brown Eyes People Vulnerable Skin Cancer Risk

The tendency of skin diseases can be identified through the eye color. The fact that found a team led by Richard Spritz from the University of Colorado Denver, United States. The research was conducted on a large scale.
 

They are studying the genomes of three thousand Americans of European descent with vitligo. Vitligo is an autoimmune disease that manifests as a ' violation ' skin and hair pigmentation, when human immune system attacking normal pigment cells.

Scientists find, blue-eyed guy gray and have a lower risk of vitligo. While people who have brown eyes are the most vulnerable to skin cancer (melanoma).

A genetic expert Richard Spritz, explain, and melanoma was opposite vitligo, and genetic variation in the DNA, provoke the development of vitligo, which help reduce the development of melanoma. So does the opposite. Vitligo patients typically also suffer other autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.

Not only on the patient, their close relatives also have the same risk though vitligo is not real visible on their bodies.

According to Spritz, there are prerequisites for making conclusions that obviously. Autoimmune diseases have a genetic trait, besides other genes and environment is also responsible at a time when the disease is active in the body.

The Easiest Way To Barring Skin Cancer

 
A recent study found, the consumption of aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and naproxen can prevent some types of turns out to be skin cancer. Researchers find Denmark, consume regularly painkillers such as aspirin can reduce about 15 percent risk of developing skin cancer, especially melanoma deadliest types such as.

The team examined the 200 thousand animals as an experiment, 18 thousand of whom diagnosed exposed one of of three types of skin cancer are dangerous. Three types of skin cancer are dangerous among them basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma malignant hypertension.

As a result, those who get Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) or drug-drug anti-inflammatory for the heart or less risky exposed arthtitis skin cancer. "We expect the effect of NSAIDs for protection against skin cancer, can inspire further research," said researchers from Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark, Sigrun Alba Johannesdottir.

Even though the study showed can inhibit the growth of NSAIDs pre skin cancer lesions on animals, not yet seen its effects in humans. Researchers say the need for further research to confirm the findings in humans.
