Mark Billadeau Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 For those interested here is a link to the published study. https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4425/12/12/1927/htm “We have utilized a moderately large cohort with an extensive SNP genotyping dataset to demonstrate that the heritability of BCC is between 49–61%, depending on disease prevalence, and hundreds of alleles contribute to BCC risk. We also identified multiple genomic loci associated with BCC. Together, these data suggest that BCC is a complex moderately- to highly heritable disease, where many genetic variants, coupled with environmental factors contribute to BCC risk.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
