Table 2: Distribution of age, gender, CDKN2A, pigmentation phenotype, and sun exposure variables in 53 melanoma-prone families by CMM status. P-values were obtained by comparing CMM cases to unaffected individuals using logistic regression with a generalized estimating equation and adjusting for familial correlation in the variance
