Abstract excerpt
MDM2 gene is overexpressed in several tumors and its product may be processed into different isoforms, some of which have been demonstrated to possess transforming activity. In a panel of liposarcomas characterized by displaying 4 different combinations of mdm2/p53 immunoreactivity, molecular analysis of amplified MDM2 gene revealed a coexistence of mutated full-length MDM2 messenger RNAs, an out-of-frame...
