Scientists dig into DNA of moles to uncover hidden mutations
NCT ID NCT03054584
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study collects moles and blood samples from 50 adults to analyze the genetic mutations that cause moles to form. Researchers will compare DNA from mole tissue with normal DNA from blood to find specific changes. No treatments or interventions are given—the goal is purely to understand the genetic basis of melanocytic nevi.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could reveal which genetic changes cause moles to form, potentially guiding future studies on skin cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no treatment, so it won't directly help patients. Results may not lead to new therapies.
