IRF4 rs12203592 functional variant and melanoma survival
Meta-analysisN=140,000Miriam Potrony et al.(2017)· International Journal of Cancer

Genome-wide association meta-analysis of cutaneous melanoma combining pathologically confirmed cases with 23andMe self-reported cases identified 54 genome-wide significant loci. The study confirmed 19 of 21 previously reported loci, revealed complex LD structure at the AHR/AGR3 region (rs117132860, p=3.8×10−21), and identified novel associations including those near MFSD12/FZR1. Key variants included rs12215602 (IRF4), rs16953002 and rs62034121 (FTO), and variants associated with pigmentation phenotypes (hair color, nevus count, sunburn susceptibility).
