Rounding out the session were presentations from GenoMEL scientists from the United States, the Netherlands, Mexico, Scotland and Austria, including an update on the most recent GenoMEL genomewide association study of genetic variants called single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with increased risk of developing melanoma in the general population.

Their preliminary analysis revealed several mutations known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ALR gene, many of which haven't been identified before. (sciencedaily.com)
Large - scale resequencing of the first ESTs and subsequent genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms in large populations expanded the available molecular marker resources and provided a basis for examining their association with traits of interest (Eckert et al. 2013). (genetics.org)
