Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of amelanotic/hypopigmented primary cutaneous melanoma
This study proposes that the likely molecular mechanism for the development of amelanogenesis in AHM is carriage of an albinism/hypopigmentation allele followed by LOH of the corresponding gene in the tumour.
