Integrative molecular and clinical profiling of acral melanoma links focal amplification of 22q11.21 to metastasis

Despite acral melanoma being the most common melanoma subtype in non-White individuals, its molecular drivers remain unknown. Here, the authors integrate genomic and clinical data from 104 patients and identify late-arising focal amplifications of chr22q11.21 and LZTR1 as a key tumour promoter in th...
