Abstract excerpt
Amplification of 12q13 locus occurs in some mantle cell lymphomas (MCL), potentially involving CDK4 and MDM2 genes. To determine the role of these genes in MCL, we have examined their gene status and expression and their relationship to INK4a/ARF and p53 gene aberrations in 69 tumors. Increased CDK4 gene copy number was detected in 4 of 19 (21%) highly proliferative blastoid variants and was associated with mRNA...
