Abstract excerpt
Cytogenetic aberrations involving chromosome region 12q13-15 occur frequently among benign mesenchymal tumors in humans, e.g., pleomorphic adenomas of the parotid gland, pulmonary chondroid hamartomas, lipomas, or uterine leiomyomas. HMGIC, a gene encoding a protein of the high-mobility group, has been identified as a target of those events. Using the 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technique, we...
