## Abstract Multiple primary cancers are one of the hallmarks of inherited predisposition. Outside the familial context, multiple primary tumors could be related either to germline de novo mutations or to low‐penetrance mutations, in predisposing genes. We selected 100 patients who displayed multip

## Abstract The presence of multiple primary cutaneous melanomas (MPM) has been advocated as guidance to identifying melanoma families. Frequencies of __CDKN2A__ mutations in materials of sporadic MPM cases from pigmented lesion clinics vary between 8 and 15%. Patients with MPM have therefore been
## Abstract Germline mutations in the __CDKN2A__ gene have been shown to predispose individuals to cutaneous malignant melanoma. Here, we describe three melanoma‐prone families and one isolated patient affected by multiple melanoma who carried a tandem germline mutation of __CDKN2A__ at the nucleot
