Could your genes affect your skin cancer risk? alabama study investigates vitamin d receptor link

This study looked at whether certain vitamin D receptor gene variations are linked to non-melanoma skin cancer risk in an Alabama population. Researchers compared 200 people aged 50 and older, some with skin cancer and some without, by analyzing their DNA from blood samples. The goal was to see if specific gene patterns are more common in those with skin cancer, which could help understand who might be at higher risk.
