These modifications were seen to be happening gradually starting from the superficial areas of the melanomas, respectively, from the cortical area of the lymph node metastases (Zeb2/Snail2 positive and Zeb1/Twist1 negative) until the deeper parts of the tumor and the medullar part of the metastatic lymph nodes (Zeb2/Snail2 negative and Zeb1/Twist1 positive) [87]. The gene discussed is SNAI2; the disease is neoplasm.
