Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet (UV) light primarily causes C > T substitutions in lesion-forming dipyrimidine sequences. However, many of the key driver mutations in melanoma do not fit this canonical UV signature, but are instead caused by T > A, T > C, or C > A substitutions. To what extent exposure to the UVB or UVA spectrum of sunlight can induce these noncanonical mutation classes, and the molecular mechanism involved is...
