Abstract excerpt
We have previously used single nucleotide polymorphisms to detect an association of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in Caucasian Americans and Danes with the genome region 19q13.2-3, which contains several genes involved in the nucleotide excision repair of DNA. In this exploratory paper we have extended the data and used them in a chromosomal scan. The results indicate the presence of a gene variation modulating the...
