Abstract excerpt
Allelic variants in the melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor (MC1R) gene are susceptibility/outcome candidates for cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We identified the val92met (V92M) and asp294his (A294H) alleles in 311 cases and 190 controls. The cases included four homo- and 53 heterozygotes for V92M and 12 heterozygotes for A294H and two compound heterozygotes (V92M/A294H). Allele frequencies were...
