In this study, we investigated whether variants in three key pigmentation genes-MC1R, MATP/SLC45A2, and OCA2--were involved in melanoma predisposition. A cohort comprising 1,019 melanoma patients (MelanCohort) and 1,466 Caucasian controls without skin cancers were studied. A total of 10 polymorphism
