Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies three loci associated with melanoma risk.

D. Timothy Bishop, +54 more
- 05 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: Despite wide variation in allele frequency, these genetic variants show notable homogeneity of effect across populations of European ancestry living at different latitudes and show independent association to disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Cancer and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) populations.

TL;DR: An overview of the current literature on seven cancer sites that may disproportionately affect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) populations is provided.
