Abstract excerpt
Our study aimed to investigate the role of lipids in melanoma risk and the effect of lipid-lowering drug targets on melanoma. Using Mendelian Randomization analysis, we examined the genetic agents of nine lipid-lowering drugs and their association with melanoma risk. We found that genetically proxied inhibition of HMGCR, ABCG5/ABCG8, and ANGPTL3 was associated with a reduced risk of melanoma. On the other hand,...
