Prevalence of 9p21 deletions in UK melanoma families

Abstract excerpt

Although the CDKN2A gene has been shown to be the major genetic determinant governing high-penetrance susceptibility to melanoma, there remains a significant proportion of melanoma pedigrees in which germline mutations of CDKN2A have not been identified. We have therefore studied the prevalence of germline 9p deletions encompassing the CDKN2 locus in melanoma pedigrees, using multiplex ligation-dependent probe...
