## Communicated by Stephen Chanock Caspase-8 (CASP8) and caspase-10 (CASP10) play key roles in regulating apoptosis, and their functional polymorphisms may alter apoptosis and cancer risk. However, no reported studies have investigated the association between such polymorphisms and the risk of cut

## Abstract Some herds of miniature swine are genetically predisposed to cutaneous melanoma. To test if swine melanoma susceptibility could be linked to the __CDKN2A__ gene, which is involved in a proportion of 9p21‐linked human familial melanoma, we performed a genetic analysis of miniature pigs o
## Abstract Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is an etiologically heterogeneous disease with genetic, environmental (sun exposure) and host (pigmentation/nevi) factors and their interactions contributing to risk. Genetic variants in DNA repair genes may be particularly important since their altere
## For the Mutation Pathogenicity Special Issue Locus-specific databases (LSDBs) are curated collections of sequence variants in genes associated with disease. LSDBs of cancer-related genes often serve as a critical resource to researchers, diagnostic laboratories, clinicians, and others in the can
