Individuals with pathogenic germline variants have a higher risk of developing multiple primary melanomas (MPM). However, differences in clinical, dermoscopic, and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features between variant carriers and non-carriers are not well established.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To compare clinical, dermoscopic, and RCM characteristics of MPM patients with and without germline variants associated with familial melanoma.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This retrospective study included 45 MPM patients who underwent Sanger sequencing and/or custom Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) panels between 2020 and 2023. Clinical, dermoscopic, and RCM images were reviewed and compared between variant-positive and variant-negative groups.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Germline variants in moderate- to high-risk melanoma genes were found in 15 patients. Carriers were diagnosed at a younger age (41.8 ± 10.1 vs. 53.5 ± 10.4; P < .001), had a more frequent family history of melanoma (P = .015), more melanomas arising from pre-existing nevi (P < .001), and less actinic damage (P = .045). CDKN2A carriers were younger (38.9 ± 11.4 vs. 45.3 ± 7.8) and had fewer melanomas (2.7 ± 1.3 vs. 4.1 ± 1.2; P = .05) than MITF or POT1 carriers. CDKN2A carriers had low (n=5), medium (n=1), or high (n=2) nevus counts, while MITF carriers had medium (n=1) to high (n=4) counts. Dermoscopically, variant carriers showed fewer regression structures (8.3% vs. 39.8%; P = .010). RCM findings indicated a non-significant trend toward more dendritic cell-type melanomas in non-carriers (33.9% vs. 19.4%).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>MPM patients with germline variants demonstrate distinct clinical and imaging profiles compared to non-carriers. These findings support personalized surveillance in high-risk individuals and the integration of genetic testing into melanoma management.

This narrative review explores the relationship between displacement and skin-related NTDs in Sudan by synthesizing epidemiological data, health infrastructure challenges, social impacts, and public health responses. Data were sourced from peer-reviewed literature, WHO reports, and humanitarian briefs published between 2000 and 2024. Findings reveal that overcrowded living conditions, malnutrition, and disruption of healthcare services have increased the transmission and severity of leishmaniasis, mycetoma, leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, and scabies among internally displaced persons (IDPs). Social stigma, financial hardship, and poor access to treatment further amplify the disease burden. While public health interventions, such as mass drug administration and mobile outreach programs, have shown effectiveness, ongoing conflict and inadequate resources continue to hamper these efforts. Strategic recommendations include scaling up surveillance, enhancing healthcare worker training through digital and in-person methods, improving medication access, and integrating NTD care into broader humanitarian responses.</p>","PeriodicalId":10324,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144945141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
