✦ Synopsis

We report four DNA variants in the gene coding for the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. The polymorphisms affect codons 115, 133, 582 and the 3'-non-coding region.

E-cadherin plays a major role in intercellular adhesion, cell polarity and tissue architecture. We determined the relative risk of PCa associated with a previously reported C/A SNP at -160 bp relative to the transcription-start site of the E-cadherin gene promoter.

Human physical pigmentation is determined by the type and amount of melanin and the process of pigmentation production probably involves more than 100 genes. A failure to synthesize melanin results in oculocutaneous albinism (OCA). A recently identified form of OCA results from mutations in the Memb
