Abstract excerpt
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Some risk factors including sun exposure and MC1R variants are recognized; however, the identification of additional genetic factors is essential for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we conducted a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) using plasma protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) from a published study and the UK Biobank...
