Abstract excerpt
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is globally recognized as the most prevalent malignant skin tumor. Despite ample evidence suggesting that immune cells play a significant role in its development, the causal relationship between the 2 remains unclear. This study employed the Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis approach, utilizing publicly available genome-wide association studies data on 731 immune cell phenotypes and...
