Molecular diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: A comparison between reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization methodologies

Abstract excerpt

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is characterized by the presence of the t(17;22)(q22;q13) that leads to the fusion of the COL1A1 and PDGFB genes. This translocation can be detected by multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques. We have evaluated the usefulness of a dual color dual fusion FISH probe strategy for COL1A1/PDGFB...
