Novel pleiotropic associations with cutaneous melanoma and nevus count or hair color. Reported cutaneous melanoma P-values are from the total fixed-effects inverse-variance weighted meta-analysis of logistic regression two-sided P-values from GWAS representing a total of 36,760 melanoma cases and 375,188 controls (Online Methods). Results for the lead variants from pleiotropic loci (lead SNP reaching P < 5 × 10−8 following a Stouffers sample size weighted meta-analysis of cutaneous melanoma P-values and either Nevus GWAS meta-analysis (N = 65,777) or Hair Color GWAS (N=352,662) and GWAS-PW Model 3 prior probability of association (PPA) > 0.5, Online Methods) distinct to those in the total cutaneous melanoma meta-analysis (Table 1, 2). CHR, BP: hg19 positional information. rsID: dbSNP142 rs number. Gene prioritizes genes that the variant is an eQTL for in GTEx skin datasets or otherwise is the closest protein coding gene; multiple indicates three or more genes. We report the total cutaneous melanoma meta-analysis P (CM P), and the CM+nevus or CM+hair color Stouffer’s meta-analysis fixed effect P-value. Full results can be found in Supplementary Tables 7 and 10.
