Abstract
We recently observed for the first time 12,882 new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in association with cutaneous melanoma (CM) risk in 103 samples of CM patients and 103 controls, using large-scale genotyping with DNA microarrays (SNP array 6.0, Affytmetrix®). Three new SNPs located in the regulatory sequence of RNA messenger processing (splicing) of genes related with melanogenesi…
