Abstract excerpt
A number of genomic regions have been associated with melanoma risk through genome-wide association studies; however, the causal variants underlying the majority of these associations remain unknown. Here, we sequenced either the full locus or the functional regions including exons of 19 melanoma-associated loci in 1959 British melanoma cases and 737 controls. Variant filtering followed by Fisher's exact test...
