Abstract excerpt
Organ-transplant recipients have an elevated risk of keratinocyte cancers: basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma. We assessed whether polygenic risk scores (PRSs) generated in nontransplantees from the UK Biobank and 23andMe (13,981 squamous cell carcinoma, 33,736 BCC, and >560,000 controls) can predict keratinocyte cancer risk in an independent organ-transplant recipient cohort. After adjusting...
