Assessment of melanoma candidate genes in a meta‐analysis of 16 534 melanoma cases.

Assessment of melanoma candidate genes in a meta-analysis of 16 534 melanoma cases Cutaneous melanoma (CM) accounts for the majority of deaths from skin cancer and its development is an interplay between phenotypic characteristics,[1] environmental exposures[2] and genetic risk factors.[3] Several genetic variants have been found to be strongly associated with risk of melanoma using a candidate gene approach.
