Abstract:
Gm and Km allotypes were examined in 355 members of 14 large pedigrees segregating for autosomal dominant cutaneous malignant melanoma/dysplastic nevi. No evidence for linkage was found between the disease locus and the immunoglobulin loci. Furthermore, there was no association of G1m(2) or Gm(-1) with cutaneous malignant melanoma in the 14 independent family probands.
