Abstract excerpt
Max interacting protein 1 (MXI1), a negative regulator of myc oncoprotein with tumor suppressor properties, has been mapped to chromosome 10q24-25. MXI1 gene loss, demonstrated by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis (allelic imbalance), is a frequent event in astrocytomas and other forms of glial neoplasia. Development and progression of malignant melanoma likely involves several cooperative oncogene/tumor...
