Abstract excerpt
While ultraviolet radiation (UV) is critical in the pathogenesis of basal cell carcinomas (BCC), its role in determining the phenotypic variation shown by patients is unknown. Thus, patients manifest variation in BCC numbers, patterns of presentation and tumour site. We have used this diversity to classify patients into subgroups that are associated with different risks of developing tumours. Two phenotypes are...
