Hiding in plain sight: molecular genetics applied to giant congenital melanocytic nevi.

Abstract excerpt

Large and giant congenital melanocytic nevi are rare malformations that offer surprising insight into prenatal and postnatal acquisition of nevi of any size, central and peripheral nervous system development, and melanomagenesis. In this issue, Charbel et al. demonstrate the use of highly sensitive detection techniques for recurrent but difficult-to-detect mutations in NRAS and BRAF. It is now possible to...
