Genetic predisposition to ocular melanoma.

Eye (London, England) - 1 Jan 1999

Houlston R S, Damato B E

Abstract excerpt

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy, with an annual incidence of 6 per million. The environmental factors known to increase the risk of cutaneous melanoma appear to be less important in ocular melanoma and it is conceivable that host factors have a greater impact. The coexistence of ocular and cutaneous melanoma in some patients suggests a predisposition to both types and implicates...
