'''Table 1.''' '''Rates of gains and losses significantly higher than 5% for specific chromosome regions in primary melanoma of all subtypes combined''' '''(Literature Review)'''. The is a list of significantly gains and losses selected and evaluated based on a systematic literature search performed on 235 peer-reviewed manuscripts focusing on findings of copy number abnormalities in melanocytic lesions published between 1998 and 2022.

All ''p''-values in the listed CNAs were ≤0.05 and were considered indicative of significance. The abnormalities were reported by at least 3 manuscripts. Possible genes affected by the gain or loss are listed.
