Association between Gene Expression Profile, Proliferation and Metastasis in Uveal Melanoma

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Uveal melanomas cluster into two molecular groups based on their gene expression profile. Tumors with the class 1 signature rarely metastasize, whereas those with the class 2 signature have a very high rate of metastasis. However, the biological basis for this metastatic propensity of class 2 tumors remains unclear. Towards such an explanation, this study was conducted to determine whether class 2 tumors...
