Abstract excerpt
To obtain information on the prevalence of microsatellite mutations in melanomas, we analysed the status of 14 repetitive loci characterized by structurally different non-coding and coding sequence repeats in a panel of 34 primary melanocytic tumours and in lymph node metastases matched to 13 cases. Instability at one or more of the non-coding dinucleotide repeats D2S123, D3S1611, D5S107 and D18S34 was detected...
