Gene amplification refers to a genomic change that results in an increased dosage of the gene(s) affected. Amplification represents one of the major molecular pathways through which the oncogenic potential of proto-oncogenes is activated during tumorigenesis. The architecture of amplified genomic st

The patterns of RET proto-oncogene expression in mouse, rat, and chicken and the anomalies observed in targeted RET mutants suggest that RET plays a major role in development of mouse enteric nervous system and in kidney organogenesis. Here, we report on in situ hybridization studies describing the
Deletions of chromosome arm 1p and amplification of the MYCN oncogene are well-recognized genetic changes in neuroblastoma cells. Technical difficulties in cytogenetic analysis of this tumour have hampered the recognition of other recurring abnormalities, but recent use of molecular cytogenetic tech
Neuroblastoma is one of the most frequent tumors in infancy. We analyzed 26 neuroblastomas, two ganglioneuromas, and a neuroblastoma metastasis for mutations and homozygous deletions of the p16 (or MTS1 or CDKN2) gene by means of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in combination with the single-str
## Background: In hong kong, lung carcinomas contribute to the majority of cancer deaths among chinese. point mutational activation of ras oncogenes has been observed in several populations. the incidence of these mutations in hong kong lung carcinomas was investigated. ## Methods: Lung resection
## Background and objective: Mucosa intact laser tonsillar ablation is an alternative to conventional tonsillectomy. the efficacy of this procedure was demonstrated in canines, but establishing the safety of irradiating human tonsils is paramount. ## Study design/materials and methods: An optical
