A comparison between cases with the highest 10% FCS (high-density melanoma families, n=42) and cases with the lowest 10% FCS (low-density melanoma families, n=39) revealed that cases from low-density melanoma families had a higher mean sPRS (0.94, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.33) than cases from high-density melanoma families (0.60, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.95) ( table 2 ) , although this difference did not reach statistical significance (p=0.204).
