Trend test p values for association in this study for the SNP reported by the reference study and for the SNP with the strongest signal in this study. The R2 for percentage of variation explained in melanoma risk is also given from the study. The gene listed is the gene considered to be the likely candidate in the region. Positions are build 37.
