Evidence base

Supporting literature

Hayward et al. Human Molecular Genetics 2022 (MC1R causal SNPs). Sturm et al. J Investigative Dermatology 2016 (pigmentation haplotypes). CYP2R1 rs10741657 -- multiple GWAS vitamin D associations. HLA-Cw6 psoriasis -- Nair et al. Nature Genetics 2006.

Why skin genomics first?

Skin is the body system most visibly affected by your genes -- and the one where genomic insights translate most directly into daily actionable choices. MC1R variants affect which SPF you need not just cosmetically but as a cancer-prevention measure. MMP1 variants affect whether retinoids will meaningfully slow your aging trajectory. This report makes those connections explicit.

Connected to the Skin + Cancer add-on

Your Skin Genomics report is the biological foundation of the Skin + Cancer Connection add-on ($89). If your MC1R or TYR variants flag elevated UV sensitivity here, the add-on panel extends that finding into full melanoma PRS scoring, CDKN2A pathway analysis, and a personalized dermatology surveillance protocol.
