Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the occurrence of BRAF V600E gene mutations and copy number changes of all autosome arms and genes known to be frequently altered in tumorigenesis in primary and metastatic conjunctival melanomas (CoMs). METHODS: DNA (200 ng) was analyzed by three multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assays (P027 uveal melanoma, P036 human telomere, and P206 spitzoid melanoma). RESULTS: Eight of...
