Association of germline variants in telomere maintenance genes (POT1, TERF2IP, ACD, and TERT) with spitzoid morphology in familial melanoma: A multi-center case series
30 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Background Spitzoid morphology in familial melanoma has been associated with germline variants in POT1 , a telomere maintenance gene (TMG), suggesting a link between telomere biology and spitzoid differentiation. Objective To assess if familial melanoma cases associated with germline variants in TMG ( POT1 , ACD , TERF2IP , and TERT ) commonly exhibit spitzoid morphology. Methods In this case series, melanomas...
