Amplification and Overexpression of MDM2 in Primary (de novo) Glioblastomas

Abstract excerpt

Glioblastoma multiforme (WHO Grade IV), the most malignant neoplasm of the human nervous system, develops rapidly de novo (primary glioblastoma) or through progression from low-grade or anaplastic astrocytoma (secondary glioblastoma). We recently reported that mutations of the p53 gene are present in more than two-thirds of secondary glioblastomas but rarely occur in primary glioblastomas, suggesting the presence...
