To understand the mechanisms underlying increased expression of Myc protein in human urinary bladder cancer, expression of c-myc mRNA and the copy number of the c-myc gene were determined. Expression of mRNA was measured by quantitative RT-PCR in 40 urothelial carcinomas and in 18 histologically nor

✦ Synopsis
In a totally benign endometrial polyp, double minute chromosomes were shown to contain an amplified and apparently nonrearranged HMGIC gene, expressed in the tumor cells, suggesting amplification of HMGIC through double minute chromosome formation as another hitherto unreported mechanism associated with the development of some mesenchymal tumors.

The OZF gene encodes a protein consisting of 10 zinc finger motifs and is located on chromosome 19q13.1. We report here the amplification and over-expression of the OZF gene in pancreatic carcinomas. Increased gene copy number was detected in 3 of 12 tumour cell lines and 2 of 12 primary pancreatic
Ampli®cation of the c-erbB2 oncogene and numerical aberrations of chromosome 17 occur in human breast carcinomas. Apocrine adenosis (AA) of the breast has been shown occasionally to have c-erbB2 overexpression and a possible premalignant potential, but little is known about cellular level genetic al
