Abstract excerpt
PTCH1 and PTCH2 are associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and basal cell carcinoma. We determined the prevalence of their common and rare variants in 877 patients with various reproductive cancers and 296 healthy subjects. Using targeted next-generation sequencing, we found significantly statistical associations of the minor alleles at seven common variants of PTCH1 and PTCH2 with a decreased risk...
