Localization of the 9p Melanoma Susceptibility Locus (MLM) to a 2-cM Region between D9S736 and D9S171 - Cannon-Albright, L.A.; Goldgar, D.E.; Neuhausen, S.; Gruis, N.A.; Anderson, D.E.; Lewis, C.M.; Jost, M.; Tran, T.D.; Kamb, A.; Weaver-Feldhaus, J.; Zone, J.J.; Nyguen, K.; et al. (Elsevier)
A familial melanoma susceptibility locus (MLM) was identified on the short arm of chromosome 9 in a set of Utah and Texas kindreds. Subsequent confirmation was reported for a set of 26 Australian kindreds, a set of 7 Dutch kindreds, and a set of 13 NIH melanoma kindreds. The original localization report placed the locus near the IFNA-D9S126 interval on chromosome 9p. We report further localization using D9S171 and a newly developed marker, D9S736, both of which lie in the IFNA-D9S126 interval. Analysis of this set of kindreds places the melanoma susceptibility locus in a 2-cM region that is proximal to D9S736 and distal to D9S171.
