Abstract
We found, for the first time, that familial risks were similar for two/three melanomas in one FDR or for a single melanoma in ⩾2 FDRs and, higher familial risks for SSM than LMM occurred only at head/neck. This study provides new evidence for genetic counselling in melanoma, suggesting the need for considering not only the number of affected family members but also the diagnosis of MPM (even in situ) in relatives.
