Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with cutaneous melanoma (CM) risk and prognosis. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with cutaneous melanoma (CM) risk and prognosis

Abnormalities in pigmentation-related genes alter CM risk and prognosis. Overall design: Two hundred and six individuals were analyzed in the first stage. Genomic DNA was extracted from leukocytes of peripheral blood of 103 CM patients and 103 controls using the QIAamp DNA Blood Midi Kit (Qiagen®, Canada), following manufacturer’s instructions
