Inherited mutations affecting the INK4a/ARF locus (CDKN2A) are associated with melanoma susceptibility in 40% of multiple case melanoma families. Over 60 different germline INK4a/ARF mutations have been detected in more than 190 families worldwide. The majority of these alterations are missense mutations affecting p16(INK4a), and only 25% of these have been functionally assessed. There is therefore a need for an...
