BACKGROUND: Hypomorphic MC1R variants are the most prevalent genetic determinants of melanoma risk in the white population. However, the genetic background of patients with wildtype (WT) MC1R melanoma is poorly studied. OBJECTIVES: To analyse the role of candidate common genetic variants on the melanoma risk and naevus count in Spanish patients with WT MC1R melanoma. METHODS: We examined 753 individuals with WT...
