Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic and environmental risk factors have been associated with the development of multiple primary melanomas (MPMs). We hypothesized that individuals with MPMs might have an increased incidence of internal malignancies. OBJECTIVE To identify the risk for subsequent malignancies in MPM patients. METHODS Multiple primary standardized incidence ratios were analyzed for individuals with ≥1, ≥2 and ≥3 primary melanomas (PMs) recorded in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database during 1973-2014. RESULTS We identified 223,799 individuals with ≥1 PM, 19,709 with ≥2 PMs, and 3,995 with ≥3 PMs. Risks of subsequent internal malignancy increased with number of PMs, with observed:expected ratios of 0.99, 1.14, and 1.23 (P < .05) for patients with ≥1 PM, ≥2 PMs, and ≥3 PMs, respectively. Internal malignancy was higher in younger MPM patients and those with superficial spreading melanoma. The most common malignancies among MPM patients included breast, prostate, thyroid, soft tissue, brain, kidney, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Risk for subsequent cutaneous melanoma increased with observed:expected ratios of 8.09, 22.52, 41.03 (P < .05) for patients with ≥1 PM, ≥2 PMs, and ≥3 PMs, respectively. LIMITATIONS Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results records limited information about pigmentation phenotypes, histology, and treatments. CONCLUSION Patients with MPMs have an increased risk for subsequent internal and cutaneous malignancies and might benefit from tight adherence to age-specific cancer screening.

Genetic Variants and Somatic Alterations Associated with MITF-E318K Germline Mutation in Melanoma Patients. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:1440. [PMID: 34573422 PMCID: PMC8469310 DOI: 10.3390/genes12091440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The MITF-E318K variant has been implicated in genetic predisposition to cutaneous melanoma. We addressed the occurrence of MITF-E318K and its association with germline status of CDKN2A and MC1R genes in a hospital-based series of 248 melanoma patients including cohorts of multiple, familial, pediatric, sporadic and melanoma associated with other tumors. Seven MITF-E318K carriers were identified, spanning every group except the pediatric patients. Three carriers showed mutated CDKN2A, five displayed MC1R variants, while the sporadic carrier revealed no variants. Germline/tumor whole exome sequencing for this carrier revealed germline variants of unknown significance in ATM and FANCI genes and, in four BRAF-V600E metastases, somatic loss of the MITF wild-type allele, amplification of MITF-E318K and deletion of a 9p21.3 chromosomal region including CDKN2A and MTAP. In silico analysis of tumors from MITF-E318K melanoma carriers in the TCGA Pan-Cancer-Atlas dataset confirmed the association with BRAF mutation and 9p21.3 deletion revealing a common genetic pattern. MTAP was the gene deleted at homozygous level in the highest number of patients. These results support the utility of both germline and tumor genome analysis to define tumor groups providing enhanced information for clinical strategies and highlight the importance of melanoma prevention programs for MITF-E318K patients.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate clinical, pathologic and genetic features of desmoplastic melanoma (DM). Materials & methods: Analysis of all DM records from 1991 to 2015. Results: The most common location of DMs was the head and neck (69%); median age and follow-up were 60.5 and 7.3 years, respectively. A familial predisposition for DMs and others malignancies was analyzed. Thin Breslow thickness (<4.5 mm) was associated with an intraepidermal component or a previous lentigo maligna, whereas high Breslow thickness (>4.5 mm) was observed in ‘pure’ DM. Conclusion: DM could progress from an early phase, characterized by an intraepidermal component, to late phase, characterized by a dermal nodule. This hypothesis correlates with melanoma genetic and NF1 mutation, which could be an early event in the progression of DM.
