Analysis of melanoma patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) identified a gene signature that includes fatty acid uptake genes caveolin-1 (CAV1) and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), and the fatty acid oxidation (FAO) gene carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C), that predicts for significantly worse overall survival [35]. Here, CAV1 is linked to melanoma.
