abstract：BACKGROUND:Recently, germline variants of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) have been shown to be associated with an increased risk for BRAF mutant but not BRAF wild-type cutaneous melanoma. Similar to melanoma, BRAF mutations are also commonly found in papillary thyroid carcinomas. Furthermore, patients with melanoma...
