MELARIS®

Testing for Hereditary Melanoma

What is MELARIS®?
MELARIS® assesses an individual's risk of developing
melanoma, based on the detection of mutations in the p16 gene.

What is the test?
MELARIS® is a genetic test that requires only a small blood
sample to determine if a patient has a p16 gene mutation,
indicating a predisposition for melanoma. This is the most
accurate clinical test available to detect p16 gene mutations.

Why chose the MELARIS® test?
MELARIS® genetic testing enables the clinician to:

  • Take a proactive management approach with clearly identified at-risk patients
  • Avoid unnecessary interventions in family members who have not inherited a known familial mutation
  • Target increased surveillance and other interventions to individuals with a p16 mutation – maximising patient care while increasing clinical efficiency
  • Counsel patients and family members on the underlying cause of cancer, in the case of a positive result. Significantly improve patient outcomes.
