Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification of Uveal Melanoma: Correlation with Metastatic Death
23 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) of uveal melanoma as a predictive tool for metastatic death. METHODS: Uveal melanoma specimens of 73 patients treated between 1998 and 2000 were included. DNA samples were analyzed with MLPA evaluating 31 loci on chromosomes 1, 3, 6 and 8, and the results were correlated with metastatic death. RESULTS: The patients (27 women; 46 men) had...
