Abstract excerpt
Both germline and somatic variants contribute to the genetic background and pathogenesis of melanoma. Germline variants include the presence of rare pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants of high, medium, and low penetrance melanoma-predisposing genes. Rare variants of high penetrance melanoma-predisposing genes are associated with melanoma development, whereas the medium and low penetrance predisposing genes...
