Screening for SNPs in the Wnt pathway genes. (a) Research workflow. (b) Manhattan plot of associations between 19,830 SNPs and CMSS. There are 1,855 SNPs with P < The blue horizontal line indicates P = CMSS, CM-specific survival; GWAS, genome-wide association study; HWE, Hardy Weinberg equilibrium; MAF, minor allele frequency; MDACC, MD Anderson Cancer Center; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.

Selected SNPs and survival prediction. (a, b) Kaplan-Meier curves of cutaneous melanoma-specific survival (CMSS) stratified by WNT2B rs , assuming a dominant model in (a) the MDACC study and (b) the Harvard study. (c, d) Kaplan-Meier curves of CMSS stratified by BTRC rs , assuming a dominant model in (c) the MDACC study and (d) the Harvard study. (e, f) Kaplan-Meier survival curves of the combined risk genotypes: dichotomized groups of the NUG in (e) the MDACC study and (f) the Harvard study. BTRC, beta-transducin repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; MDACC, MD Anderson Cancer Center; NUG, number of unfavorable genotypes; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; WNT2B, Wnt family member 2B.
