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.
