ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods of screening for the presence of premalignant melanocytes in a sample from a patient. The methods comprise contacting a nucleic acid sample from a biological sample from the patient with a probe which binds selectively to a target polynucleotide sequence on a chromosomal region which is amplified in melanoma cells.
