TL;DR: It is found that rs401681[C] on chromosome 5p15 satisfied the threshold for genome-wide significance and seems to confer protection against cutaneous melanoma, and investigation of the region led to rs2736098[A], which showed stronger association with some cancer types, but neither variant could fully account for the association of the other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors: incidence and prognosis of histological subtypes. A population-based study in Denmark.
