Abstract excerpt
Mdm2 is the main regulator of p53 and is amplified in approximately 7% of all human cancers. MDM2 gene amplification as well as expression has been correlated to an increased tumorigenic potential. We have analyzed the prevalence of MDM2 gene amplifications and SNP309 in 284 colorectal tumors usi...
