BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a positive association between chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). We hypothesized that shared genetic risk factors between CLL and NMSC could contribute to the association observed between these diseases. METHODS: We examined the association between (i) established NMSC susceptibility loci and CLL risk in a meta-analysis...
