Current opportunities and challenges: genome‐wide association studies on pigmentation and skin cancer is a research paper published in Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research (2012). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 0.735. It has been cited 9 times, with 9 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
SummaryGenome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have become a widely used approach for genetic association studies of various human traits. A few GWAS have been conducted with the goal of identifying novel loci for pigmentation traits, melanoma, and non‐melanoma skin cancer. Nevertheless, the phenotype variation explained by the genetic markers identified so far is limited. In this review, we discuss the GWAS study design and its application in pigmentation and skin cancer research. Furthermore, we summarize recent developments in post‐GWAS activities such as meta‐analysis, pathway analysis, and risk prediction.

Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 47% comes from its base citations and 53% from the citation network (8 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
