Mapping the gene for hereditary cutaneous malignant melanoma-dysplastic nevus to chromosome 1p.
New England Journal of Medicine 1989 May 26
We used molecular genetic techniques and multipoint linkage analyses to locate the gene responsible for cutaneous malignant melanoma-dysplastic nevus. We evaluated 99 relatives and 26 spouses in six families with a predisposition to melanoma. Thirty-four family members had cutaneous malignant melanoma, and 31 of these 34 also had histologically confirmed dysplastic nevi. Twenty-four family members had dysplastic nevi alone. An analysis of the cosegregation of the cutaneous malignant melanoma-dysplastic nevus trait with 26 polymorphic DNA markers on the short arm of chromosome 1 demonstrated the presence of a gene for susceptibility to melanoma. The gene was located between an anonymous DNA marker (D1S47) and the gene locus for pronatrodilatin, a commonly used reference gene (PND), in chromosome band 1p36. The odds were greater than 260,000:1 in favor of linkage at this location.
