The analysis of a group of 15 conventional cutaneous pediatric melanomas showed that they have a genomic landscape comparable to that observed for adult cases, with some remarkable quantitative differences: 100% of cases displayed TERT promoter mutations, 87% displayed BRAF mutations, while no RAS mutations were observed; furthermore, these cases showed a coding mutation rate (14.4 mutations per megabase) comparable to that observed in adult melanomas and >80% of the identified single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were consistent with UV damage [93]. Here, TERT is linked to melanoma.
