FUT2 and ocular melanoma: Also, an independent GWAS study on more than 200,000 individuals of European ancestry reported 14 genomic regions, including FUT2 (p-value: 3.51 × 10–30), TBX1 (1.17 × 10–19), HLA-DRB1 (rs4329147, 9.55 × 10–12), ABO (3.67 × 10–11), EFEMP1 (1.47 × 10–10), AUTS2 (3.75 × 10–9), CDHR3 (5.40 × 10–9), BSN (1.56 × 10–8), and PLG (3.78 × 10–8), that were significantly associated with childhood ear infection (Tian et al., 2017), further highlighting the contribution of genetic factors responsible for OM in humans.
