The present invention discloses variants that are predictive of human pigmentation patterns. The invention furthermore relates to variants that are useful for determining risk of skin cancer, including melanoma and basal cell carcinoma. The disclosed variants can be utilized for the determination of the natural pigmentation patterns of a human individual, and for determining a susceptibility to melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, from a sample of genetic material. Methods and kits including the variants described are useful in e.g. forensic testing and diagnostic applications.
