First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looked at whether certain gene variations (called VDR polymorphisms) are linked to a higher risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. Researchers compared 200 people aged 50 and older—some with skin cancer, some without—to see if these genes play a role. The goal is to better understand who might be at greater risk, not to test a treatment.
