Epidemiological data strongly implicate sunlight as the principal environmental cause of melanoma; however, critical molecular targets for ultraviolet (UV)-induced melanoma remain to be identified. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is one possible target, being abnormally expressed in 20-40% of primary

## Abstract The incidence of melanoma increases markedly in the second decade of life but almost nothing is known of the causes of melanoma in this age group. We report on the first population‐based case‐control study of risk factors for melanoma in adolescents (15–19 years). Data were collected th
