EFS shows biallelic methylation in uveal melanoma with poor prognosis as well as tissue-specific methylation
26 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare eye tumor. There are two classes of UM, which can be discriminated by the chromosome 3 status or global mRNA expression profile. Metastatic progression is predominantly originated from class II tumors or from tumors showing loss of an entire chromosome 3 (monosomy 3). We performed detailed EFS (embryonal Fyn-associated substrate) methylation analyses in UM, cultured uveal...
