This study of individual participant data from 6 pooled cohorts assesses whether resolution of elevated childhood non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-C) by adulthood is associated with reduced risk of clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.

This cohort study used national registry data for all children born in Denmark between 1978 to 2015 to examine the association of maternal infection during pregnancy with childhood leukemia among offspring.

This cohort study investigates whether phenotypic characteristics, carriage of MC1R variants, and history of amelanotic melanoma are associated with histopathologically amelanotic melanoma.

This Viewpoint discusses the ending of the National Children’s Study and the implications for the future of large birth cohort studies.

In this study of tumor characteristics and melanoma-specific survival, NRAS+ and BRAF+ melanomas were found to be associated with higher tumor stage at diagnosis, indicating that these melanomas are less likely than wildtype melanoma to be diagnosed when lower risk and surgically curable.

Thomas and colleagues compare melanoma-specific survival between patients with histopathologically amelanotic melanoma and those with pigmented melanoma in a large international population-based study.

Kricker et al investigate whether survival after diagnosis was better in patients with multiple rather than single primary melanomas and whether different pathological features between the melanomas suggest biological differences that affect outcomes.
