Objective:

To investigate the association of selected genetic variants with the risk of developing multiple non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) in an Italian population, highlighting the significance of genetic factors in NMSC susceptibility.

Key Findings:
  • 19 genetic variants were significantly associated with NMSC multiplicity, with implications for future research and clinical practice.
Interpretation:

Integrating genetic and environmental factors can enhance personalized prevention strategies for individuals at higher risk of developing multiple NMSCs, considering their interactions.

Limitations:
  • The study was limited to an Italian population, which may affect generalizability to other demographics.
Conclusion:

Identifying SNPs associated with NMSC multiplicity may improve risk stratification and support personalized prevention strategies, impacting public health initiatives.
