Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) are known to be associated with mosaic NRAS or BRAF variants. However, the exact correlations of the allele load of mosaic variants in CMN with phenotypic characteristics have not been determined. AIM: To determine the correlation of variants allele load and different phenotypes of CMN. METHODS: A panel of genes in the Ras/Raf/MAPK signalling pathway was selected for...
