A multi-phenotype analysis reveals 19 novel susceptibility loci for basal cell carcinoma and 15 for squamous cell carcinoma

2022-03-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most common forms of skin cancer. There is genetic overlap between skin cancers, pigmentation traits, and autoimmune diseases. We use linkage disequilibrium score regression to identify 20 traits (melanoma, pigmentation traits, autoimmune diseases, and blood biochemistry biomarkers) with a high genetic correlation ( r g > 10%, P...
