All risk factors listed in the table except for total number of variants were included in the multivariable model (multivariable OR1); age-sex corrected log body nevus number and presence of atypical nevi were adjusted in OR1 for total number of variants;

ˆ

adjusted for age, sex, hair color, freckling as child, general skin type without other nevus phenotype or genotype.
