Abstract excerpt
We have studied 107 bone and soft-tissue sarcomas and 8 lipomas for amplification of the MDM2 gene. This gene was amplified in 3 out of 67 osteosarcomas, 3 out of 20 malignant fibrous histiocytomas, 4 out of 20 liposarcomas, and 4 out of 8 lipomas. The amplification was associated with overexpression of mRNA. In osteosarcomas, contrary to previous findings, all amplifications were observed in primary lesions. In...
