The DIMUVA study aims to evaluate the correlation between cutaneous phototype and the nature and quantity of damage caused to cutaneous DNA after exposure to UV-A radiation.
Due to their capacity to damage Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation is one of the causes of skin cancers. Until recently, the genotoxic effects of UV-A radiation, were poorly identified, in particular their capacity to lead to the dimerization of pyrimidine bases . It is well known that the response to UV-A and UV-B radiations is different depending on the cutaneous phototype. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the correlation between cutaneous phototype and the quantity and nature (CPD or oxidative lesions) of damage caused to cutaneous DNA after an ex-vivo exposure to UV-A and UV-B radiations.
