Body mass index and the risk of basal cell carcinoma: evidence from Mendelian randomization analysis

Body mass index and the risk of basal cell carcinoma: evidence from Mendelian randomization analysis

Objective We aim to test whether body mass index (BMI) is causally associated with the risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with four BMI-related traits were screened via a genome-wide association st...
