The G89D variant was present in about 2% of Icelandic invasive cutaneous malignant melanoma cases. Relatives of affected G89D carriers were at significantly increased risk of melanoma, head and neck cancers, and pancreatic carcinoma compared to relatives of other melanoma patients. Nineteen other germline variants were identified, but none conferred an unequivocal risk of melanoma.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This population based study of Icelandic melanoma cases and controls showed a frequency of disease related <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic> mutant alleles ranging from 0.7% to 1.0%, thus expanding our knowledge about the frequency of <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic> mutations in different populations. In contrast to North America and Australia where a broad spectrum of mutations was observed at a similar frequency, in Iceland, functional <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic> mutations consist of only one or two different variants. Additional genetic and\/or environmental factors are likely critical for explaining the high incidence rates for melanoma in Iceland. This study adds to the geographic regions for which population based estimates of <jats:italic>CDKN2A<\/jats:italic> mutation frequencies are available.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.2007.055376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,4]],"date-time":"2008-01-04T20:45:28Z","timestamp":1199479528000},"page":"284-289","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["<i>CDKN2A<\/i> mutations and melanoma risk in the Icelandic population"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"A M","family":"Goldstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S N","family":"Stacey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J H","family":"Olafsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G F","family":"Jonsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Helgason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Sulem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Sigurgeirsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K R","family":"Benediktsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Thorisdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Ragnarsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Kjartansson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Kostic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Masson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Kristjansson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J R","family":"Gulcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"U","family":"Thorsteinsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Rafnar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M A","family":"Tucker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Stefansson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/366704a0"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(95)90214-7"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0092-8674(00)81400-2"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0092-8674(00)81401-4"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.onc.1202737"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/0008-5472.CAN-06-0494"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/91.5.446"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/dji312"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.jid.5700689"},{"key":"2025100510450617000_45.5.284.10","first-page":"1","article-title":"Trends in cancer incidence in the Nordic countries.
