Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To detect deletions and loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 3 in a rare subset of fatal, disomy 3 uveal melanoma (UM), undetectable by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). METHODS: Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) with the P027 UM assay was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) whole tumor sections from 19 disomy 3 metastasizing UMs. Whole-genome microarray...
