Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of FGFR3 mutations in bladder tumors of different grade and stage and determine the relation of mutations to chromosomal alterations detected by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). One hundred bladder cancer samples served as templates for manual microdissection. DNA was isolated from dissected samples containing at least 80% tumor cells. Mutations in...
