By contrast, Menin et al (2016) ( 71 ) reported that, in sporadic melanoma cases, shorter telomeres were associated with an increased risk (OR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.00–3.04; P=0.051), although the association did not reach statistical significance, whereas in familial cases, shorter telomeres were associated with a reduced risk (OR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.23–0.95).
