Molecular and Cytogenetic Studies of Ocular Melanoma


The Jules Stein Eye Institute Ocular Melanoma Research Group is conducting cytogenetic
studies of choroidal melanoma to improve the screening of biopsy samples of choroidal
melanoma through cytogenetic analysis. Our goal is to identify molecular probes that
specifically target regions of chromosomes that undergo changes characteristic of metastatic
choroidal melanoma.
