Lack of association of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 variants with melanoma skin cancer risk

In conclusion, our results suggest that there is no contribution of MALAT1 rs3200401 and rs619586 polymorphisms or polymorphisms in the core promoter that could be associated with the risk of melanoma skin cancer in this specific study setting. Further validation will be required in larger studies involving different settings/larger populations in order to reach conclusive results.
