Overexpression of the<i>MDM2</i>Oncogene in Leukemia and Lymphoma
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
A cellular phosphoprotein that binds to and inactivates p53 has recently been identified as a product of the oncogene MDM2. Amplification of the MDM2 gene was found in more than a third of sarcomas and in a subset of malignant gliomas. Despite the absence of amplification, the MDM2 gene was overexpressed in some types of leukemias and lymphomas. Overexpression was significantly more frequent in the low-grade type...
