Uncommonly, cutaneous tumors have been found at PPK<\/jats:styled-content> sites in MDM<\/jats:styled-content> patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Objective<\/jats:title>To study a Middle Eastern family with MDM<\/jats:styled-content> with both PPK<\/jats:styled-content> and skin tumors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>We studied a Middle Eastern (Palestinian) family with clinical features of MDM<\/jats:styled-content> and cutaneous tumors. Histopathological analysis was performed on biopsies from skin lesions found in the affected individuals. Direct sequencing of SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>1<\/jats:italic> was performed in MDM<\/jats:styled-content> affected members. In silico<\/jats:italic> analysis of publicly available datasets was used to survey SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>1 <\/jats:italic>mRNA<\/jats:styled-content> levels in normal and malignant tissues. Statistical analysis was performed in the R statistical language.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Affected members from the Middle Eastern family displayed severe forms of PPK<\/jats:styled-content> consistent with MDM<\/jats:styled-content>. Histopathological analysis of the skin lesions revealed that the examined affected members exhibited skin squamous cell carcinomas (SCC<\/jats:styled-content>s) and melanoma. Sequence analysis revealed homozygous SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>1<\/jats:italic> mutations (c.82delT) in the affected members. Following analysis of various publicly available expression datasets, SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>1 <\/jats:italic>mRNA<\/jats:styled-content> levels were found to be markedly elevated in tissues of epithelial lineage, relative to tissues of other lineages, and significantly suppressed in malignant tumors of epithelial lineage relative to normal or their premalignant counterparts. There was significant decrease in SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>\u20101<\/jats:italic> expression in melanomas versus melanocytic nevi as well as a highly significant decrease in SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>\u20101<\/jats:italic> expression in metastatic melanomas as compared to primary melanoma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Our study underscores cases of Middle Eastern MDM<\/jats:styled-content> with SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>1<\/jats:italic> mutations and skin malignancies at PPK<\/jats:styled-content> sites. Our findings also highlight a plausible epithelial lineage\u2010specific tumor suppressor role for the SLURP<\/jats:styled-content>1 gene, as well as a role in the development and metastasis of melanoma and thus a potential molecular signature for melanoma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ijd.13850","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,12]],"date-time":"2017-12-12T11:12:46Z","timestamp":1513077166000},"page":"162-170","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["SLURP\u20101<\/i>
