Aberrant expression of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex is involved in cancer development. The tumor suppressor SNF5, the core subunit of SWI/SNF complex, has been shown to regulate cell differentiation, cell cycle control, and apoptosis. To investigate the role of SNF5 in the development of melanoma, we examined the expression of SNF5 in melanocytic lesions at different stages and analyzed the correlation between SNF5 expression and clinicopathologic variables and patient survival.
