Role of MC1R variants in uveal melanoma [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 2003
Variants of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene have been linked to sun-sensitive skin types and hair colour, and may independently play a role in susceptibility to cutaneous melanoma. To assess the role of MC1R variants in uveal melanoma, we have analysed a cohort of 350 patients for the changes within the major region of the gene displaying ...

Phenotypic and Genetic Features that Differ Between Hereditary and Sporadic Melanoma: Results of a Preliminary Study from a Single Center from Turkey

Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2023
Introduction: We have observed that most cutaneous melanoma patients under our supervision lack characteristic phenotypical features for melanoma. In contrast; history of cancers other than melanoma and age at onset before 50 were common.

Association of MC1R Variants and host phenotypes with melanoma risk in CDKN2A mutation carriers: a GenoMEL study [PDF]

, 2010
<p><b>Background</b> Carrying the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) germline mutations is associated with a high risk for melanoma. Penetrance of CDKN2A mutations is modified by pigmentation characteristics, nevus phenotypes,
