Chromosome 3 Intratumor Heterogeneity in Uveal Melanoma
26 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the presence of focal or diffuse heterogeneity of monosomy 3 in uveal melanoma, by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). METHODS: Direct interphase FISH in a series of 151 uveal melanomas revealed 82 tumors with loss of chromosome 3. Tumors with monosomy 3 were suspected to be heterogeneous if there were low percentages of monosomy 3, triploid clones, inconsistencies between...
