Abstract excerpt
Histologic observation of ovarian mucinous tumors suggests that there is a multistep transition through the accumulation of genetic alterations. We analyzed loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and replication error (RER) on TP53 and D17S855 as well as K-ras point mutations of the heterogeneous histologic areas of the same tumor in 26 cases of ovarian mucinous tumor. The laser capture microdissection (LCM) technique has...
