Over the preceding two decades, sophisticated sequencing techniques have been used to
characterize the genetic drivers of adult melanoma. However, our understanding of pediatric

analysis of common pediatric melanoma subsets, including pediatric conventional
melanoma (CM), congenital nevus-derived melanoma (CNM), and Spitzoid melanoma (SM),
