CM : Cutaneous Melanoma.

NA : no data provided, or published OR (Odds Ratio) used, or in case of overlap, data included in original study.

Source : "CL" (clinic-based), "PO" (population-based), "NHS" (Nurses Health Study), "HPFS" (Health Professionals Follow-up Study).

Design : "CC" (case-control), "FBAT" (Family-Based Study).

Association with Melanoma: Overall conclusion reached by authors of the original publication ("P" indicates significant (P < 0.05) association in at least one of the performed analyses, and "NS" indicates non - significant association); results obtained in duplicate or largely overlapping samples are listed as "NA".
