Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Observational study of genotypes and phenotypic correlates of pigmentation and naevus characteristics in melanoma patients, in a one-off appointment for each participant. The participant fills out a questionnaire about sun exposure and medical history, and a research assistant records skin, hair and eye colour, skin reflectance, weight and height, before taking a series of full body images and dermoscopic images of all naevi over 5mm in diameter. This process usually takes between 1 and 2 hours.
