High-risk Melanoma Susceptibility Genes and Pancreatic Cancer, Neural System Tumors, and Uveal Melanoma across GenoMEL

Alisa M. Goldstein, +99 more
- 15 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: This GenoMEL study provides the most extensive characterization of mutations in high-risk melanoma susceptibility genes in families with three or more melanoma patients yet available and there was little evidence for an association between CDKN2A mutations and NST, but there was a marginally significant association between NST and ARF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Features associated with germline CDKN2A mutations: a GenoMEL study of melanoma‐prone families from three continents

TL;DR: The variation in CDKN2A mutations for the four features across continents is consistent with the lower melanoma incidence rates in Europe and higher rates of sporadic melanoma in Australia, which reflects the divergent spectrum of mutations in families from Australia versus those from North America and Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Milky Way has no thick disk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the surface-mass contributions of stellar populations with scale height h_z, and found no hint of a thin-thick disk bi-modality in this mass-weighted scale-height distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutation of the CDKN2A 5' UTR creates an aberrant initiation codon and predisposes to melanoma

TL;DR: It is shown here that a subset of these kindreds possess a G→T transversion at base –34 of CDKN2A, designated G–34T, which gives rise to a novel AUG translation initiation codon that decreases translation from the wild-type AUG.
