Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The impact of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on tumour susceptibility and pathogenesis has gained enormous attention. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)-based genotyping facilitates the analysis of short DNA amplicons and is, therefore, a promising tool for the investigation of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples,...
