Although the majority of melanomas develop due to cell damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure, susceptibility to melanoma is also influenced by genetics. For some families, inheritance of particular melanoma ‘risk’ genes can predispose to developing melanoma. These are grouped into ‘high’, ‘medium’ and ‘low’ penetrance genes, where penetrance reflects the likelihood of melanoma [...]Read More...
