The results from a small number of melanoma GWAS have been published. Initial studies identified several pigmentation- and nevus-associated loci that mediate an effect on melanoma risk, however, these studies were somewhat limited in that sample number (hence power) was low, they used first-gener...

In the search for the biological mechanisms that underlie melanoma development, we have developed a cellular system that models tumor initiation and transformation from melanocytes to metastatic melanoma cells.. To evaluate histone PTM, we applied a workflow to globally detect histone PTM by mass sp...

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 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...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 

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 ...
