Project description:In this experiment, FFPE samples of 41 primary cutaneous melanoma, 2 metastatic melanoma and 6 normal skin were used for DNA extraction and genotyping by Affymetrix OncoScan FFPE Assay, in order to define chromosomal alterations in copy number and loss of heterozygosity. Genomic damage was then correlated with clinical features of melanoma.
Project description:mRNA expression in RNA isolated from formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue from vulvar melanoma compared to primary cutaneous melanoma.
