An independent validation of a gene expression signature to differentiate malignant melanoma from benign melanocytic nevi.

abstract：BACKGROUND:hMLH1, the human MutL homologue, has been linked to microsatellite instability (MSI) in gastrointestinal tumors. However, to the authors' knowledge, the role of hMLH1, the other mismatch repair genes (MMR), and MSI in ovarian carcinoma has not been well defined. The purpose of the current study was to determ...
