Abstract：
:Most melanocytic tumors can be characterized as a benign nevus or a melanoma by a trained pathologist using traditional histopathological methods. However, a minority demonstrates ambiguous features and continues to be a diagnostic challenge. Genetic expression profiling (GEP) assays have been developed in an effort to resolve this dilemma. These assays measure mRNA levels of specified genes using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction technology. The development of GEP assays, methodology, challenges associated with GEP validation and testing, and the suitability of a currently available GEP test for clinical use are reviewed.

abstract：:There is a spectrum of melanocytic tumors from benign to malignant. The goal of the dermatologist is to identify and remove early melanomas because doing so can be lifesaving. At the same time, it is inappropriate to randomly remove benign nevi. Dermatoscopy is an additional tool that can be used to help discriminate ...
