More specifically, the 34 selected variants from MelGene were distinguished in two groups: 1) all variants associated with melanoma at a level of p<0.05 following meta-analysis of relevant data from at least 3 independent case-control datasets (28 variants) and 2) additional biologically plausible variants representing potential causal pathways and selected from GWAS (3 variants) and candidate gene studies (3 variants) with genome-wide (p<10 −7 ) or nominally significant (p<0.05) associations.
