We found that the G allele of rs2228527 and the G allele of rs2228529 within <i>NER</i> gene, interaction between rs2228529 and current smoking were all associated with increased NMSC risk.
Using the additive model, two tightly linked functional SNPs in ERCC6 were significantly associated with increased risk of NMSC: rs2228527 (odds ratio (OR) 1.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20-2.05) and rs2228529 (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.20-2.05).
