Recently, we showed that out of the 214 known genes mapping to 20q13, ADRM1, a gene that encodes the proteasomal ubiquitin receptor ADRM1 protein, is the most likely amplification target at 20q13 in ovarian cancer with over-expression correlating significantly with a shorter time to recurrence and death [1]. This evidence concerns the gene ADRM1 and ovarian carcinoma.
