One form of this SNP, known as N991D for the nonsynonymous change it produces in the BRCA2 protein, has been reported to represent an increased risk for malignant melanoma. In a Polish study of ~600 patients in comparison with ~3700 controls, the rs1799944 SNP was found to have an odds ratio of 1.8. Patients with the homozygous rs1799944(G;G) genotype were present in 0.32% of malignant melanoma cases vs. 0.13% of controls. [PMID 18024013]
