Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported on the amplification and overexpression of the MDM2 proto-oncogene in a subset of malignant gliomas without TP53 mutation (G. Reifenberger et al, Cancer Res., 53: 2736-2739, 1993). Here, we show that the MDM4 (MDMX) gene located on 1q32 is a further target for amplification in malignant gliomas. MDM4 codes for a Mdm2-related protein that can bind to p53 and inhibits p53-mediated...
