In fact, BD3 expression did not appear to be influenced by pigment phenotype, as manifested by a positive trend between higher BD3 expression and darker skin samples ( Figure 3A ; r 2 = 0.057, p = 0.41).

Similarly, a negative trend between skin color and time of peak BD3 expression was observed, although this too did not reach statistical significance ( Figure 3B ; r 2 = 0.234, p = 0.08).
