Article Synopsis
  • Nodular melanoma (NM) is hard to diagnose early due to its fast growth and unusual appearance, making it a major cause of melanoma-related deaths.
  • The study analyzed genetic differences between NM patients and those with non-NM by examining rare genetic variants in 500 candidate genes in a cohort of 131 NM and 194 non-NM participants from Australia.
  • Findings showed that NM patients were mostly older males with lighter skin and red hair, and identified key genes associated with NM, suggesting a link to the Hedgehog signaling pathway, emphasizing the need to consider rare variants in risk assessment for NM.
