## Background. Abnormalities in chromosome llq13 regions have been frequently found in head and neck squamous carcinoma. Recent studies indicate that the PRAD-1 (also CCNDI), which encodes cyclin D1, is a putative oncogene that is an important component of this region. Methods. DNA was extracted

## Background: Abnormalities of chromosome band 11q13 are frequent in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (scchn). the oncogene ccnd1 is located at 11q13 and encodes cyclin d1, a cell cycle-regulating protein. the authors investigated the clinical relevance and associations between amplifi
To evaluate the prognostic significance of cyclin D1 protein/gene expressions in human head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC), we examined amplification of the cyclin-D1 gene (CCND1) by the differential PCR method and over-expression of cyclin-D1 protein by immunohistochemistry in 45 paraffin
The presence of gene amplification was determined in 66 fresh head-and-neck SCC specimens using a battery of 9 different probes. Amplification of at least one gene was found in I 2 samples (18%), of which 7 were amplified at multiple loci (58%). We observed amplifications for EGFR (10% of samples) a
## Background: Human papillomavirus (hpv) infection is suspected to be a risk factor for head and neck, and in particular for laryngeal, carcinogenesis. cyclin d1 gene (ccnd1) overexpression and amplification have been shown to play a role as prognostic factors in many human cancers, among which ar
