Melanoma development and progression is thought to be the result of a multi-step accumulation of genetic damage, with loss of heterozygosity in chromosome 9p (MTS1) frequently described. In addition, chromosome 10q allelic loss has been reported, implicating the tumor suppressor gene PTEN/MMAC1 on 10q23.3. The MXI1 gene at 10q24-25 is another candidate tumor suppressor that has only rarely been studied in...
