Abstrakt: The article presents a study which provided the genetic and environmental contributions to melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in all sites, sun-exposed sites and sun-covered sites using unique population-based data. Materials and methods used in the study are provided including study population and statistical methods. The study found that contrasting sun-covered to sun-exposed sites indicate that the pattern of sun exposure does not interact with the genetic susceptibility to melanoma.
