Abstract excerpt
Protein expression and gene mutational status of KIT and PDGFRA were investigated in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens of 14 ipsilateral testicular seminomas. The analysis was performed by ordinary immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing methods. The genetic analysis was performed in exons 9, 11, 13, and 17 of KIT gene and in exons 12 and 18 of PDGFRA gene. Six point...
