Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin is the most common human cancer. The genetic alterations underlying BCC development are only partly understood. OBJECTIVES: To investigate further the molecular genetics of sporadic BCCs, we performed mutation analyses of 10 skin cancer-associated genes in 42 tumours. METHODS: Single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis followed by DNA sequencing was used...
