No association between telomere length-related loci and number of cutaneous nevi.

Oncotarget - 13 Dec 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Longer telomeres have been associated both with increased melanoma risk and increased nevus counts. Nevus count is one of the strongest risk factors for melanoma. Recent data showed that a genetic score derived by telomere length-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was strongly associated with melanoma risk; however, the relationships between these SNPs and number of cutaneous nevi have not...
