• Citrus-Gene Interaction and Melanoma Risk in the UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34724200

  ABSTRACT: High citrus consumption may increase melanoma risk; however, little is known about the biological mechanisms of this association, or whether it is modified by genetic variants. We conducted a genome-wide analysis of gene-citrus consumption interactions on melanoma risk among 1,563 melanoma cases and 193,296 controls from the UK Biobank. Both the 2-degrees-of-freedom (df) joint test of genetic main effect and gene-environment (G-E) interaction and the standard 1-df G-E interaction test were performed. Three index SNPs (lowest p-value SNP among highly correlated variants [r2 >0.6]) were identified from among the 365 genome-wide significant 2-df test results (rs183783391 on chromosome 3 [MITF], rs869329 on chromosome 9 [MTAP], rs11446223 on chromosome 16 [DEF8]).
