No association between HLA DP1 and the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCC) was found among patients who had lived at least two‐thirds of their lives in the tropics. The percentage of patients with multiple BCCS increased with age; this was different from what has been found in people living in the temperate zone of Australia.
