In the PanScan data, initial associations were found with melanoma susceptibility variants in NCOA6 [rs4911442; OR, 1.32; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-1.70; P = 0.03], YWHAZP5 (rs17119461; OR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.08-6.35; P = 0.03), and YWHAZP5 (rs17119490; OR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.08-6.34; P = 0.03), TYRP1 (P = 0.04), and IFNA13 (P = 0.04).
Our data confirmed a previous association of melanoma risk (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.37-2.41) with rs4911442, located in intron 5 of the nuclear receptor coactivator 6 (NCOA6) gene.
