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...

Familial Melanoma Sequencing
In this experiment we have sequenced the exome of 15 individuals from eight families who have familial melanoma. By sequencing the exome we hope to be able to identify new genes that are associated with this disease.

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 ...

Germline genotype data on 56,479 ovarian cancer cases and controls
A custom Illumina genotyping array, the OncoArray. The array includes a genome-wide backbone, comprising 230,000 SNPs tagging most common genetic variants, together with dense mapping of known susceptibility regions, rare variants from sequencing experiments, pharmacogenetic markers, and cancer-rela...
