A Highly Specific and Discriminatory FISH Assay for Distinguishing Between Benign and Malignant Melanocytic Neoplasms

Abstract excerpt

The diagnosis of certain melanocytic proliferations remains one of the most challenging areas in pathology. In recent times, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has emerged as a promising diagnostic aid to conventional microscopy. We previously showed that a 4-probe FISH assay targeting 6p25 (RREB1), 6q23 (MYB), Cep6 (centromere 6), and 11q13 (CCND1) could discriminate between histologically unequivocal...
