For all three GWAS SNPs reported for PLA2G6, which is associated with both nevus numbers and melanoma, eQTLs have been reported in skin and/or transformed fibroblasts impacting on the expression of PLA2G6, MAFF, TMEM184B, and BAIAP2L2. All of these genes harbored SNP-associated DNA methylation variation in our study. The gene discussed is BAIAP2L2; the disease is melanoma.
