Disruption of CTCF binding by germline non-coding variants in <i>CDKN2B</i> suppress <i>CDKN2A</i> expression and predispose to melanoma
2026-06-02
Abstract excerpt
Some melanoma-prone families linked to the 9p21 locus, harboring the established susceptibility gene CDKN2A , lack pathogenic protein-coding variants. Using whole-exome and targeted sequencing, we identified three rare single-nucleotide variants in two melanoma-prone families and one sporadic melanoma case. Variants map to a conserved CTCF-bound region within the first intron of CDKN2B that physically interacts...
