Highlights: [•] Results establish a first association of an ABCB5 SNP with melanoma risk. [•] The lower melanoma risk allele is also associated with enhanced pigmentation. [•] The lower melanoma risk allele confers impaired ABCB5 protein function. [•] Functional variation in a cancer stem cell gene can correlate with tumorigenesis. [•] Results have implications for melanoma risk assessment and prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
