Molecular classification of cutaneous malignant melanoma by gene expression profiling.

Discusses the molecular classification of cutaneous malignant melanoma by gene expression profiling. Subset of melanomas identified by mathematical analysis of gene expression in a series of samples; Genes that form primitive tubular networks in vitro and the relation to metastatic melanomas; Suggestion that global transcript analysis can identify unrecognized subtypes of cutaneous melanoma and predict experimentally verifiable phenotypic characteristics that may be of importance to disease progression.
