<i>DDEF1</i> Is Located in an Amplified Region of Chromosome 8q and Is Overexpressed in Uveal Melanoma
15 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The molecular pathogenesis of uveal melanoma is poorly understood but is usually accompanied by amplification of chromosome 8q, suggesting the activation of one or more oncogenes. We recently identified a gene expression profile that distinguishes low-grade from high-grade melanomas. In this profile, a cluster of genes at chromosome 8q was overexpressed in high-grade tumors, providing an opportunity to...
