Abstract Mucosal melanoma (MM) is a rare and aggressive melanoma subtype with poor outcomes and poorly understood risk factors, including the contribution of germline pathogenic variants (PVs). In this study, 346 MM patients treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center underwent germline sequencing of 322 known cancer susceptibility genes, with PV frequencies compared to population controls (gnomAD and TOPMed) using Fisher’s exact test.
