Abstract excerpt
Patients with a basal cell carcinomas (BCC) have an increased risk of further tumors. We studied the individual and combined impact of gender, skin type and allelic genes cytochrome P450 (CYP2D6), vitamin D receptor (VDR), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, TNF-alpha) on the rate of increase in BCC numbers after first presentation. Individually, male gender, skin type 1, CYP2D6 EM, VDR TT and TNF-alpha GG were...
