Popis: Melanoma incidence rates are high among individuals with fair skin and multiple naevi. Established prognostic factors are tumour specific, and less is known about prognostic host factors. A total of 556 stage I to stage IV melanoma patients from Germany with phenotypic and disease-specific data were analysed; 64 of these patients died of melanoma after a median follow-up time of 8 years. Germline DNA was assessed by the HumanCoreExome BeadChip and data of 356,384 common polymorphisms distributed over all 23 chromosomes were used for a genome-wide analysis. A suggestive genome-wide significant association of the intronic allele rs7551288*A with diminished melanoma-specific survival was detected (
