Some studies have reported that sunburns and cutaneous melanoma (CM) risk is increasing, but a clear causal link has yet to be established.
This current study conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to clarify the association and causality between sunburn history and CM using large-scale genome-wide association study data.
The inverse-variance weighted method result showed that sunburn might be associated with the risk of CM increasing (p = 2.21 × 10, OR = 1.034, 95% CI= 1.027-1.041), causally. The MR-Egger regression, weighted median method, simple mode method, and weighted mode method results showed similar results.
This study offers evidence of sunburn history and increased risk of CM, and it shows that there might be common genetic basics regarding sunburns and CM susceptibility in Caucasian, European, or British ethnic groups.
一些研究报告称晒伤与皮肤黑色素瘤(CM)风险正在增加,但尚未建立明确的因果联系。
本研究采用两样本孟德尔随机化(MR)方法,利用大规模全基因组关联研究数据来阐明晒伤史与CM之间的关联及因果关系。
逆方差加权法结果显示,晒伤可能与CM风险增加存在因果关联(p = 2.21×10,OR = 1.034,95%CI = 1.027 - 1.041)。MR-Egger回归、加权中位数法、简单模式法和加权模式法的结果显示出相似的结果。
本研究为晒伤史与CM风险增加提供了证据,并表明在高加索人、欧洲人或英国种族群体中,晒伤与CM易感性可能存在共同的遗传基础。
