High plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D and high risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer: a Mendelian randomization study of 97 849 individuals.

The British journal of dermatology - 1 Jun 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration has been associated observationally with a high risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), whereas many studies suggest that vitamin D could have a protective effect against cancer. The true association between vitamin D and risk of skin cancer remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that genetically high plasma 25(OH)D protects against...
