Could your genes hold the key to skin cancer risk?
NCT ID NCT03040492
Summary
This study aimed to understand if certain variations in a person's Vitamin D receptor genes are linked to a higher risk of common skin cancers like basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Researchers enrolled 200 people in Alabama, aged 50 and older, including those with and without skin cancer. They collected blood samples to analyze genes and personal information to look for connections, but this was an observational study and did not test any treatments.
