Identification of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 mutations in urine sediment DNA samples complements cytology in bladder tumor detection
25 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in fibroblast growth factor 3 receptor (FGFR3) are frequent events in low-grade bladder tumors. To assess the potential utility of the detection of FGFR3 mutations in a screening modality, the authors analyzed urine sediment DNA samples from 192 patients in a retrospective study. METHODS: Urine sediment DNA samples from 192 patients were prepared. Seventy-two patients had undergone...
