Table 2. Associations between genetic scores (GSs) of telomere length-related SNPs and nevus count¹.

¹Linear regression models were used to assess the relationship between genetic scores (rescaled) and nevus count, adjusting for age, gender, and the top three principle components;

²Analyses were first conducted within each of the platform-specific genetic datasets. We used fixed-effect meta-analysis to obtain a combined estimate.
