Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is amplified or mutated in 30%-50% of human gliobastoma multiforme (GBM). These mutations are associated usually with deletions of the INK4a-ARF locus, which encodes two gene products (p16(INK4a) and p19(ARF)) involved in cell-cycle arrest and apop...
