Abstract excerpt
The chromosomal region 12q13-15 is recurrently amplified in osteosarcoma (OS), but its importance in bone tumor development remains unknown. Although there are two major candidate genes (MDM2, a TP53 downregulator, and CDK4, involved in cell cycle progression) considered to be the driving genes in this region, the size of the amplicon and number of genes involved have not been determined. In this study, we used...
