ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00346008 |
RATIONALE: Studying the genes expressed in samples of blood from patients with cancer and their family members may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genes to identify melanoma in patients in Iceland and their family members.

Genetic: mutation analysis Other: high performance liquid chromatography Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Other: questionnaire administration |
Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | Genetic Epidemiologic Studies of Melanoma in Iceland |
Estimated Enrollment: | 2500 |
Study Start Date: | October 2005 |
Primary Completion Date: | December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Participants and patients undergo blood collection and complete lifestyle questionnaires. All patients and population-based controls have DNA samples sequenced for MC1R. Demographic and epidemiologic data on all study participants is collected. Sequencing of the major melanoma susceptibility genes CFDKN2A, CDK4, and MC1R is also performed.
