Some say greys are less likely to have malignant melanomas others say all greys have them. There are a whole host of theories as to why.
I have always been told that they do not generally give any problems until the horse reaches quite a ripe age.
There is a research project underway in the USA into grey. I believe they have found a correlation between the rapidity of greying and being homozygous, but I believe a number of geneticists are lining up to challenge this. I also believe they were heading towards a finding of all greys have melanomas, but again I think this might get challenged. This is all tittle tattle by the way and is by no means accurate information, just grapevine!!!
whites and greys have a better chance of getting melanoma

The Clark scale looks at how deeply the melanoma has gone into the different layers of the skin The Breslow scale measures the thickness of the melanoma in the skin TNM staging of melanoma describes the thickness of the melanoma and whether there is any spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body Number stages of melanoma group together the depth of the melanoma and the TNM staging in a simpler way
Cancer. A melanoma is skin cancer.
