## 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 CMM‐prone familie
## 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
## 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
Germline mutations of the CDKN2A gene are found in melanoma-prone families and individuals with multiple sporadic melanomas. The encoded protein, p16(INK4A), comprises four ankyrin-type repeats, and the mutations, most of which are missense and occur throughout the entire coding region, can disrupt
