Microarray comparative genomic hybridisation analysis of intraocular uveal melanomas identifies distinctive imbalances associated with loss of chromosome 3
25 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Defining regions of genomic imbalance can identify genes involved in tumour development. Conventional cytogenetics has identified several nonrandom copy number alterations (CNA) in uveal melanomas (UVM), which include monosomy 3, chromosome 6 abnormalities and gain of 8q. To gain further insight into the CNAs and define the regions involved more precisely we analysed 18 primary UVMs using 1 Mb BAC microarray...
