    ABSTRACT: Abstract The keratinocyte cancers (KC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most common cancers in fair-skinned people. KC treatment represents the second highest cancer healthcare expenditure in Australia. Increasing our understanding of the genetic architecture of KC may provide new avenues for prevention and treatment. We first conducted a series of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of KC across three European ancestry datasets from Australia, Europe and USA, and used linkage disequilibrium (LD) Score regression (LDSC) to estimate their pairwise genetic correlations. We employed a multiple-trait approach to map genes across the combined set of KC GWAS (total N = 47 742 cases, 634 413 controls). We also performed meta-analyses of BC

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Personalized basal cell carcinoma screening plan High

    rs11719821 increases basal cell carcinoma risk; medical assessment guides optimal screening frequency and method

Lifestyle

  • Daily sun protection for skin cancer risk High

    rs11719821 increases basal cell carcinoma risk; UV exposure is the primary modifiable risk factor for BCC

    SPF 30+ daily, reapply every 2 hours; limit direct sun 10am-4pm; wear protective clothing

Screening

  • Basal cell carcinoma surveillance High

    rs11719821 variant increases basal cell carcinoma risk 1.087-fold; early detection significantly improves outcomes

    Annual full-body skin exam with dermatologist; monthly self-examination
