Marshaling the Translational Potential of MC1R for Precision Risk Assessment of Melanoma.

Cancer prevention research (Philadelphia, Pa.) - 1 Mar 2018

Kanetsky Peter A, Hay Jennifer L

Abstract excerpt

Melanoma rates have been increasing in the United States, and neither primary (sun protection and avoidance) nor secondary (skin examination) prevention is practiced consistently, even by those with melanoma risk factors. Inherited variation at MC1R is a robust marker for increased risk of melanoma, even among individuals with "sun-resistant" phenotypes. Although MC1R conveys important information about inherited...
