Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic heterogeneity of melanomas and melanocytic nevi of the female genital tract is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: We aim to characterize the frequency of mutations of the following genes: BRAF, NRAS, KIT, GNA11, and GNAQ in female genital tract melanomas. We also characterize the frequency of BRAF mutations in female genital tract melanomas compared with melanocytic nevi. METHODS: Mutational...
