Their screen, which used a pooling strategy, identified common variants on 20q11.22 associated with melanoma susceptibility. In two separate studies, Sulem et al. and Gudbjartsson et al. report that the same region on 20q11.22, near ASIP, influences pigmentation and confers risk of cutaneous melanoma and basal cell carcinoma.
