PTGES2, RNASET2, SF3B4, STX8, ENO2, and HS3ST3B1 (besides RNASET2, five other plasma proteins were previously unknown in expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL)) were significantly associated with BCC after FDR correction in the UKB-PPP and deCODE studies. This evidence concerns the gene RNASET2 and skin basal cell carcinoma.
