Abbreviations: BCC=basal cell carcinoma; NMSC=non-melanoma skin cancer; SCC= squamous cell carcinoma; SNP=single-nucleotide polymorphism.
^aLogistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between genetic score of height SNPs and risk of skin cancers, adjusting for age, gender, and the top three principal components.
^bAnalyses were first conducted within each of the platform-specific genetic data sets. We used fixed-effect meta-analysis to obtain a combined estimate.
