Oesophageal cancer and amplification of the human cyclin D gene CCND1/PRAD1
Abstract
The human CCND1/PRAD1 gene, located in the 11q13 chromosomal region, encodes a cyclin D protein with potential oncogenic capacity and is involved in several human malignancies. The amplification and expression status of CCND1 was investigated in a series of oesophageal tumours. CCND1 is amplified in 54% and overexpressed in 63% of the tumours of the squamous cell type.
