Iningi lama-redheads liyazi ukuthi lisengozini enkulu yomdlavuza wesikhumba, kepha abacwaningi babengaqiniseki ukuthi kungani. Manje, ucwaningo olusha olushicilelwe kujenali Ukuxhumana Kwemvelo inempendulo: Isakhi sofuzo se-MC1R, esivamile kodwa esingabandakanyi amakhanda abomvu kuphela, sinyusa inani lokuguqulwa kwamathumba omdlavuza wesikhumba. Ifuzo elifanayo elinesibopho sokunikeza izinwele ezibomvu umbala kanye nezici ezihambisana nakho, njengesikhumba esiphaphathekile, ukushesha ukushiswa yilanga, namabala. Lolufuzo luyinkinga kangangokuthi abacwaningi bathi ukumane ube nalo kulingana nokuchitha iminyaka engu-21 (!!) elangeni.

Abacwaningi abavela e-Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute kanye ne-University of Leeds babheke ukulandelana kwe-DNA ezigulini ezingaphezu kuka-400 ze-melanoma. Labo ababephethe isakhi sofuzo se-MC1R babenezinguquko eziningi ezingamaphesenti angama-42 ezingaxhunyaniswa nokubuyela elangeni. Nasi isizathu esenza lokho kuyinkinga: Ukuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo kubangela ukulimala ku-DNA yesikhumba, futhi ukuba nezinguquko eziningi kwandisa amathuba okuba amangqamuzana anomdlavuza athathe izintambo. Ukubeka kalula, ukuba nalesi sakhi kusho ukuthi umdlavuza wesikhumba uzokwazi ukusabalala futhi ube yingozi.

Ama-brunette nama-blondes kufanele akhathazeke futhi, ngoba uhlobo lwe-MC1R alugcini kuma-redheads kuphela. Imvamisa, amakhanda abomvu aphatha izinhlobo ezimbili zofuzo lwe-MC1R, kepha noma unekhophi eyodwa, njengoba ubungathanda uma unomzali onenhloko ebomvu, ingakubeka engcupheni efanayo. Abaphenyi baphinde baphawula ngokujwayelekile ukuthi abantu abanezici ezikhanyayo, amabala, noma labo abavame ukushisa elangeni kufanele bazi ukuthi basengozini enkulu yokuba nomdlavuza wesikhumba. Lolu cwaningo luyizindaba ezinhle ngoba lunganikeza abantu abanofuzo lwe-MC1R ukuthi baqaphele ukuthi badinga ukucophelela kakhulu lapho balangeni. Uma ufuna ukubona ukuthi unayo yini, ungakhetha ukuhlolwa kofuzo, noma ngabe i-American Cancer Society incoma ukuthi uvakashele isikhumba sakho njalo, unake kakhulu izinguquko esikhunjeni sakho, futhi ukhuthalele ukuvikelwa yilanga. Izinwele ezibomvu noma cha, kufanele uzibophezele emthunzini phakathi kuka-11 ekuseni no-3 p.m. lapho ilanga linamandla kakhulu, futhi wenze i-SPF 30 noma ngaphezulu ibaluleke esimisweni sakho sasekuseni njengokuhlola i-Instagram.
