Specific MER variants like P802S were found in melanoma,375 while another range of mutations like p.T690I, p.R20S, p.I518V, p.R466K, p.S118N, p.V870I, p.A282T, p.N498S, p.R293H, p.R865W, p.E823Q variants were identified in multiple myeloma.376 Moreover, MER mutations are linked with around 2% of the cases with severe autosomal recessive retinal dystrophies.377 Over the time have been identified 79 variants including missense (33), nonsense (12), splice defects (12), small deletions (12), small insertion-deletions (2), small duplications (3), exonic (2) and gross (3) deletions.377. This evidence concerns the gene MERTK and melanoma.
