In order to study expression of MDM2 gene, antagonist of tumor suppressor gene p53 in acute leukemia, forty acute leukemia patients were tested using RT-PCT to evaluate expression level of MDM2 gene. Over-expression of MDM2 gene was found in 52.5% patients (21/40). No significant relations were found between the level of MDM2 gene expression and FAB subtypes of acute leukemia. It is suggested that the over-expression of MDM2 gene may play a role in acute leukemia.
