Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the molecular alterations found in 30 human papillomavirus (HPV) positive (n = 15) and negative (n = 15) vulvar carcinomas (VC) and their associated preinvasive lesions (VIN [vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia]) and normal epithelium to determine a common molecular pathogenesis of HPV positive and negative VC. METHODS: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at seven 3p chromosomal regions (3p12,...
