Frequent Met Oncogene Amplification in a Brca1/Trp53 Mouse Model of Mammary Tumorigenesis
1 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
In a screen for gene copy number alterations in mouse mammary tumors initiated by loss of the Brca1 and Trp53 genes, we observed that the majority (11 of 15; 73%) had high-level amplification of wild-type Met, encoding a growth factor receptor implicated in tumor progression. Met amplification was localized to unstable double minute chromosomes and was uniquely found in mouse breast tumors driven by loss of Brca1...
