We identified 75 significant genes for BCC after correcting for multiple testing (Bonferroni correction was set as P < 2.28 × 10-6 (0.05/21,961 genes tested)), with the strongest association for the SLC45A2 gene (P = 5.59 × 10-11) followed by RCC2 (P = 1.28 × 10-9), and CLPTM1L (P = 3.50 × 10-9) (Supplementary Data 11). Here, RCC2 is linked to skin basal cell carcinoma.
