    The study identified 19 genetic variants significantly associated with multiple non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) in an Italian population.

  • 2

    Most identified variants are located in regulatory regions, influencing gene expression rather than protein structure.

  • 3

    Variants in the NFKBIA and ERCC6 genes may increase susceptibility to tumors through mechanisms involving inflammation and DNA repair.

  • 4

    Integrating genetic and environmental factors could enhance personalized prevention strategies for individuals at higher risk of NMSCs.

  • 5

    The study highlights the importance of SNPs in risk stratification and potential personalized strategies for NMSC prevention and early detection.
