Molecular testing for melanocytic tumors: a practical update

Abstract: The work‐up of melanocytic tumors has undergone significant changes in the last years following the exponential growth of molecular assays. For the practicing pathologist it is often difficult to sort through the myriad of different tests available currently for clinical use. The molecular tests used in melanocytic pathology can be broadly divided into 4 categories: (i) Tests useful in the differential diagnosis of nevus versus melanoma (primarily used as an aid in the diagnosis of histologically ambiguous mel… Show more

“…While CGH/SNP’s novel protocols based on MIP allow for the analysis of small or degraded tissue samples, this technique still requires >25% tumor purity to yield reliable results [ 84 ]. In addition to tumor purity on the tissue sample, 10 unstained slides are usually required for CGH/SNP array testing.…”

“…Esos cambios genéticos se pueden detectar por técnicas moleculares que no son exclusivas de melanoma, sino que también sirven para identificar nevos con sus típicas alteraciones cromosómicas. Los principales test moleculares son: a) Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH, hibridización genómica comparada); b) Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH, hibridización fluorescente in situ); c) Epidermal genetic information retrieval (EGIR; recuperación de información genética epidérmica) 9,10 .…”
