The total number of acquired melanocytic nevi on the skin is strongly correlated with melanoma risk. Here we report a meta-analysis of 11 nevus GWAS from Australia, Netherlands, UK, and USA comprising 52,506 individuals. We confirm known loci including
MTAP
,
PLA2G6
, and
IRF4
, and detect novel SNPs in
KITLG
and a region of...
