## 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
Mutation analysis of two genes involved in melanoma susceptibility (CDKN2A/p16 INK4a and CDK4) was undertaken in 131 probands with a family history of melanoma. Screening of all three exons of CDKN2A and exon 2 of CDK4 by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and/or direct sequenci
## Abstract __CDKN2A__ is a major susceptibility gene for cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), but the variable penetrance and clinical manifestations among mutation carriers suggest the existence of modifier factors. The goal of this study was to identify modifier genes for CMM in CMMβprone familie
