We thus sought to determine whether activation of the Writ-signalling pathway occurred in uveal melanoma through upregulation of some of the key downstream effectors, and whether expression of these components was associated with tumour characteristics and clinical outcome."
"Expression of Wnt5a MMP7, and beta-catenin was determined in 40 primary uveal melanomas by immunohistochemistry and correlated with patient prognosis. The proportion of cells immunoreactive for Wnt5a, MMP7, and...
