POT 1 germline mutations but not TERT promoter mutations are implicated in melanoma susceptibility in a large cohort of Spanish melanoma families
19 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germline mutations in telomere-related genes such as POT1 and TERT predispose individuals to familial melanoma. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prevalence of germline mutations in POT1 and TERT in a large cohort of Spanish melanoma-prone families (at least two affected first- or second-degree relatives). METHODS: Overall, 228 CDKN2A wild-type melanoma-prone families were included in the study. Screening...
