Abstract

To assess the generality of the hypothesis that murine double‐minute‐2 (MDM‐2) gene amplification complements the absence of p53 mutation during tumor development, we analyzed 143 murine tumors induced by a variety of carcinogenic agents in two different mouse strains. Only three of 143 tumors showed p53 genetic alterations and none showed MDM‐2 amplification, indicating the existence of alternative pathways that permit tumor cells to bypass p53–MDM‐2 control.

The aim of this study is to address the role of mdm-2-gene amplification in the tumorigenesis of uterine sarcomas. Differential PCR with DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens was employed in 12 patients with uterine sarcomas. We detected mdm-2-gene amplification in 4 out of 12 uterine
