Abstract excerpt
Inherited genetic susceptibility to cutaneous melanoma ranges from common low-risk variants to rare high-penetrance variants. Although highly penetrant variants in genes such as CDKN2A explain many cases with multiple primary melanomas, a substantial proportion of patients are negative for known high-penetrance drivers. We studied 79 patients with 5 or more melanomas who tested negative for pathogenic variants in...
