Abstract excerpt
Loss of heterozygosity at specific loci in neoplastic cells suggests the presence of a tumor suppressor gene within the deleted region. Using the microdissection technique, loss of heterozygosity has been identified in paraffin-embedded primary melanomas on chromosomes 1p and 9q. Our purpose was to determine loss of heterozygosity in primary cutaneous melanomas and to relate chromosomal alterations with cell...
