    Genetic abnormalities in melanoma increase with disease progression. Common nevi show normal chromosomes, while advanced melanomas exhibit multiple cytogenetic changes, particularly involving chromosomes 1, 6, and 7.

    Area of Science:

    • Cytogenetics
    • Dermatology
    • Cancer Biology

    Background:

    • Melanocytic lesions range from benign nevi to metastatic melanoma.
    • Understanding the genetic underpinnings of melanoma progression is crucial for developing targeted therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate chromosomal abnormalities in various stages of melanocytic lesions.
    • To correlate cytogenetic changes with the clinical progression of melanoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Karyotype analysis of direct preparations, early passage cultures, and cell lines from 37 patients.
    • Analysis included common nevi, dysplastic nevi, primary melanomas (radial and vertical growth phases), and metastases.

    Main Results:

    • Common nevi had normal karyotypes.

  • Dysplastic nevi showed occasional single chromosomal alterations.
  • All melanomas, including early and advanced stages, displayed multiple cytogenetic changes, frequently involving chromosomes 1, 6, and 7.
  • Metastases shared common alterations with primary tumors but acquired additional genetic changes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Somatic genetic abnormalities accumulate and increase in severity with melanoma progression.
    • Specific nonrandom chromosomal alterations, particularly on chromosomes 1, 6, and 7, are characteristic of melanoma.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the role of specific genetic changes in melanoma evolution.
