Searching the BioMuta database (Dingerdissen et al., 2018), several single nucleotide variants (SNVs) of the Mep1b gene can be found in different cancer entities identified by multiple genomic studies, with the largest number identified in melanoma, uterine cancer, and lung cancer (Peters and Becker-Pauly, 2019). This evidence concerns the gene MEP1B and melanoma.
