Massively parallel reporter assays of melanoma risk variants identify MX2 as a gene promoting melanoma

There are more than 20 known melanoma susceptibility genes. Here, using a massively parallel reporter assay, the authors identify risk-associated variants that alter gene transcription, and demonstrate that expression of one such gene, MX2, leads to the promotion of melanoma in a zebrafish model.

Sumario:There are more than 20 known melanoma susceptibility genes. Here, using a massively parallel reporter assay, the authors identify risk-associated variants that alter gene transcription, and demonstrate that expression of one such gene, MX2, leads to the promotion of melanoma in a zebrafish model.
