The diterpene ester PEP005 is a novel anticancer agent that activates PKC and cures subcutaneous murine melanoma by topical application. We now describe the in vitro cytostatic effects of PEP005 and the diterpene ester TPA, observed in 20% of human melanoma cell lines. Primary cultures of normal h...

We conducted whole-genome sequencing of probands from several melanoma families, identifying one individual carrying a novel germline variant (c.G1075A, NM_000248.3; p.E318K, NP_000239.1; rs149617956) in the melanoma lineage-specific oncogene MITF. While the variant cosegregated with melanoma in ...

We identified a novel germline mutation of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF - E318K). This mutation was found to be present in numerous melanoma families, as well as the general population, where its association with melanoma has a significant effect. We determined the effe...
