Abstract excerpt
The tp73 gene, a tp53 homologue, has been sub-regionally mapped at 1p36.3, a chromosomal region frequently deleted in neuroblastoma. Due to its chromosomal localization and to the mono-allelic expression observed in some neuroblastoma cell lines, it was proposed that tp73 might be involved in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma. Functional assays have demonstrated that tp73 can inhibit cell proliferation and induce...
