Further assessment of exome-wide UVR footprints in melanoma and their possible relevance.

Abstract excerpt

C>T substitutions at dipyrimidine sites dominate the melanoma genome. We recently analyzed the exomes of spontaneous and neonatal UVR-induced murine melanomas, noting a dramatic change in the genomic footprint at C>T substitutions in the latter. Here we re-analyzed published exome-wide footprints in human melanomas stratified in terms of likely previous sun exposure. Acral and mucosal melanomas were heterogeneous...
