Abstract

Background

The pathogenic mutations in melanoma have been largely catalogued; however, the order of their occurrence is not known.

Methods

We sequenced 293 cancer-relevant genes in 150 areas of 37 primary melanomas and their adjacent precursor lesions. The histopathological spectrum of these areas included unequivocally benign lesions, intermediate lesions, and intraepidermal or invasive melanomas.
