What condition is associated with CDKN2A p.Pro41= (c.123G>C)?

CDKN2A p.Pro41= (c.123G>C) is associated with melanoma-pancreatic cancer syndrome, familial melanoma (ClinVar).

How common is CDKN2A p.Pro41= (c.123G>C) in the general population?

CDKN2A p.Pro41= (c.123G>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

CDKN2A p.Pro41=

Q: How is Familial atypical multiple mole melanoma syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.
