Abstract: | We report six of 16 U.K. melanoma families and two of 17 patients with multiple primary melanomas and a negative family history who have between them four different functionally damaging mutations of the CDKN2A (p16) gene: an Arg 24 Pro substitution in exon 1 in one family, a stop codon at codon 44 of exon 1 in one family, and a Met 53 Ile substitution in exon 2 in four families. One multiple primary melanoma patient also has the Met 53 Ile mutation and a second has a G-T substitution at the IVS2 + 1 splice donor site. Our data together with other recent publications from France and the U.S.A. indicate that screening melanoma kindreds with only two affected family members for CDKN2A mutations is justified. |
