Basal Cell Carcinoma Polygenic Risk Score
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer. It grows slowly and rarely spreads, and sun exposure and skin type are its main risk factors.
A risk score adds up many common variants, each with a small effect, into an estimate of genetic predisposition. It is not a diagnosis.
