Abstract excerpt
Fusion of the collagen type I a 1 (COL1A1) gene with the platelet-derived growth factor B-chain (PDGFB) gene has been pointed out in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Various exons of the COL1A1 gene have been shown to be involved in the fusion with exon 2 of the PDGFB gene. We studied the breakpoints of the COL1A1 gene using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumour specimens from five patients with...
