Abstract excerpt
The novel p73 gene is a structural and, in overexpression systems, functional p53 homologue. p73 resides on chromosome 1p36.33 within a commonly deleted region in neuroblastoma (NB) and other human tumors. To evaluate p73's candidacy for a NB suppressor, we analyzed 28 primary NB tumors, 14 NB cell lines, and 5 non-NB malignant pediatric tumors. We determined the level of p73 expression and its allelic origin and...
