Out of 20 orthologues of human melanoma-associated loci, 12 contained SNPs with p-values < 10–2 in the MeLiM model, and 6 of them had SNPs reaching a p-value < 10–3: CDKAL1 on SSC7, FTO on SSC6, PLA2G6 on SSC5, TMEM38B-RAD23B on SSC1 and SLC45A2 and TERT on SSC16. Here, TMEM38B is linked to melanoma.
