Comparison of Formalin-Fixed and Snap-Frozen Samples Analyzed by Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification for Prognostic Testing in Uveal Melanoma
17 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Survival of patients with uveal melanoma (UM) correlates strongly with chromosomal abnormalities, such as monosomy 3 and polysomy 8q. Studies have shown multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to detect reliably chromosomal aberrations in UM using frozen samples. To date, the concordance between MLPA data generated from frozen and fixed samples has not been investigated. Our study aimed...
