The prevalence of PV in predisposing genes in FM was lower than previously reported in Italian registries. Possible reasons include deleterious variants in untested intermediate/low-penetrance genes or yet-to-be-discovered high-penetrance genes and environmental risk factors. A family history of PC, a high number of nevi and melanomas predict a monogenic predisposition to melanoma.
