CDKN2A Gene Melanoma: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and NGS Genetic DNA Test Cost

CDKN2A gene melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is caused by mutations in the CDKN2A gene. It is a rare form of melanoma that is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. This means that if one parent has the mutated CDKN2A gene, there is a 50% chance that their child will inherit it.

CDKN2A gene melanoma is also known as cutaneous malignant melanoma, familial atypical mole melanoma syndrome, or FAMMM syndrome. It is more aggressive than other types of melanoma and is often diagnosed at a younger age.

Symptoms of CDKN2A Gene Melanoma

The symptoms of CDKN2A gene melanoma are similar to those of other types of melanoma. They include:

• A new mole or a change in an existing mole
• An asymmetrical mole
• A mole with irregular borders
• A mole with different colors or shades
• A mole that is larger than a pencil eraser
• A mole that is itchy or bleeds

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to see a dermatologist as soon as possible.

Diagnosis of CDKN2A Gene Melanoma

Diagnosing CDKN2A gene melanoma usually involves a skin biopsy, which is a procedure in which a small sample of skin is removed and examined under a microscope. If the biopsy shows that the mole is cancerous, further tests may be done to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
