Abstract excerpt
The CDKN2A gene remains understudied in melanoma compared to BRAF alterations. Inactivation of this tumor suppressor gene through homozygous deletions in the 9p21 chromosomal region leads to cellular proliferation and disrupts pro-apoptotic pathways. Genetic changes in CDKN2A are linked to multiple primary melanomas (MPM), with patients diagnosed with melanoma facing an elevated risk of developing additional...
