In Australia, the University of Queensland conducted a study of two specific genes that are responsible for the appearance of melanoma.. According to the results of the study, scientists concluded that their analysis cannot make a complete and accurate prediction..

Dr. Mitchel Stark says moles are the most common cause of melanoma. But at the same time, a birthmark will never cause a malignant tumor.. Scientists conducted research to determine the gene that is responsible for the development of the disease.

According to the results of the tests, in 85% of all patients the mutation was found in the BRAF gene, and in the remaining 15% in the NRAS gene.. These changes included the MAPK signaling pathway, which is often active in patients.

Scientists believe there are other reasons that allow moles to develop into melanoma, so research will continue.. Experts believe that such genetic changes are preceded by other structural changes..
