By multivariate statistical analysis no association was found between nsSNP and melanoma aggressiveness, while only the two XRCC1 (rs25487 and rs25489) nsSNPs showed a strong correlation (p<0.001) with melanoma risk.
In a hospital-based case-control study of 602 CM patients and 603 cancer-free control subjects frequency matched on age, sex and ethnicity, we genotyped for three non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (i.e. the ADPRT Val762Ala, XRCC1 Arg399Gln and APE1Asp148Glu) and assessed their associations with risk of CM.
