title: A transcribed polymorphism and sub-localisation of MDM2.
abstract: An NlaIV polymorphism in the 5' untranslated region of the MDM2 gene is described. MDM2 was sublocalised by fluorescence in situ hybridisation with a yeast artificial chromosome probe to 12q14.3-12q15. We demonstrate the use of the polymorphism to assess allelic imbalance in breast tumours.
