microRNA expression in ulcerated primary cutaneous melanoma. microRNA expression in ulcerated primary cutaneous melanoma

microRNA expression in RNA isolated from formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue from ulcerated primary cutaneous melanoma compared to non-ulcerated primary cutaneous melanoma Overall design: In this study microRNA and mRNA expression was assessed in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded melanoma tissue from primary, cutaneous lesions with (n=19) and without (n=16) histologically confirmed tumor ulceration using the Nanostring human miRNA assay and Nanostring human tumor signaling 360 mRNA assay, respectively.
