“…Regarding the observed increased risk of cutaneous melanoma in particular, our findings confirmed those by other groups. 22,23,37 Despite being rather controversial, the link between skin and uveal melanoma might be their common origin from melanocytes, derived from the neural crest. 23 However, these 2 tumors show remarkable differences in their metastatic spread and therapeutic response.…”

“…The coexistence of OM and CM in some patients has suggested a predisposition to both types. 15 However, data from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database have failed to find any association between OM and CM, although the power for OM as a rare cancer has been limited. 2,16 However, an association between OM and breast cancer was found, which is in agreement with data implicating BRCA2 as a predisposition gene.…”

“…Numerous clinical and biological data suggest common hereditary factors for UMM and cutaneous melanoma (CMM). UMM may occur in familial CMM probands (Newton Bishop et al, 1994;Van Hees et al, 1998). CMM may be present in first-degree relatives of UMM patients, often in association with dysplastic naevus syndrome (DNS) (Van Hees et al, 1998).…”

CMM may be present in first-degree relatives of UMM patients, often in association with dysplastic naevus syndrome (DNS) (Van Hees et al, 1998). Co-existence of UMM and CMM in a same individual occur in up to 2% of UMM patients (Bataille et al, 1993;Van Hees et al, 1998).…”
