Association of germline variants in telomere maintenance genes (POT1, TERF2IP, ACD, and TERT) with spitzoid morphology in familial melanoma: A multi-center case series
Spitzoid morphology in familial melanoma has been associated with germline variants in POT1, a telomere maintenance gene (TMG), suggesting a link between telomere biology and spitzoid differentiation. The aim is to assess if familial melanoma cases associated with germline variants in TMG (POT1, ACD...

| Resumo: | Spitzoid morphology in familial melanoma has been associated with germline variants in POT1, a telomere maintenance gene (TMG), suggesting a link between telomere biology and spitzoid differentiation. The aim is to assess if familial melanoma cases associated with germline variants in TMG (POT1, ACD, TERF2IP, and TERT ) commonly exhibit spitzoid morphology. |
