Abstract
Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) have an increased risk of developing nonmelanoma skin cancer, mainly cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Two genes (TMC6/EVER1 and TMC8/EVER2), mutated in epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) patients with an increased risk of cSCC development, contain numerous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).; To evaluate the effect of SNPs in both TMC/EVER genes on the different susceptibilities of RTRs to cSCC.; We determined the occurrence of cSCC in 105 RTRs who were transplanted at least 7 years previously and investigated the frequency of 26 SNPs within both TMC/EVER genes in severely affected (n = 16) as well as in nonaffected RTRs (n = 25).; Our data did not indicate a significant association between any SNP genotype and risk of cSCC development in RTRs.; To clarify the correlation between SNPs in both TMC genes and cSCC development in RTRs, integrated investigations of large cohorts including both RTRs and immunocompetent individuals with consideration of cSCC status, SNP genotype and human papillomavirus status might be necessary.
