Abstract excerpt
Previous karyotypic studies have indicated a possible series of non-random chromosomal events involved in progression of melanoma. We sought to verify and augment this model of melanocyte tumorigenesis by studying allelic deletions of markers mapping to these regions in 30 matched pairs of melanoma and constitutional DNA samples. Polymorphic loci on chromosomes 1, 7, 10, 11, 17, and 21 were analyzed and data...
