Interaction of Arsenic Exposure and Transcriptomic Profile in Basal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

Exposure to inorganic arsenic (As) is recognized as risk factor for basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We have followed-up 7000 adults for 6 years who were exposed to As and had manifest As skin toxicity. Of them, 1.7% developed BCC (males = 2.2%, females = 1.3%). In this study, we compared transcriptome-wide RNA sequencing data from the very first 26 BCC cases and healthy skin tissue from independent 16 individuals....
