Description

Research letter Dear Editor, Rarely, melanoma is dominantly inherited, with CDKN2A mutations accounting for > 85% of mutation‐positive families.1 CDKN2A encodes two, nonhomologous proteins, p16 and p14ARF, with individually unique first exons (1α and 1β, respectively) and alternative reading frames. Over 95% of the CDKN2A mutations in familial melanoma occur in the p16 transcript...

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
