Genome-wide association study in Japanese females identifies fifteen novel skin-related trait associations.

Both studies’ top SNPs in the basonuclin 2 gene ( BNC2 ) locus were only nominally significant in our data ( P rs2153271 = 0.0044; P rs62543565 = 0.0351), and in the interferon regulatory factor 4 ( IRF4 ), melanocortin 1 receptor ( MC1R ), and agouti signaling protein (ASIP ) loci, their top SNPs were predominantly monomorphic in 1000G East Asian samples (Supplementary Table S2 ) or were only weakly significant in our data (Table 2 ; P IRF4,rs9405675 = 0.0113; P MC1R:rs8060934 = 0.0027).
