Mutation of the p53 gene is found in about one third of astrocytic brain tumors, and expansion of tumor cell clones containing mutant p53 has been implicated in astrocytic tumor progression. However, admixture of normal cells in astrocytic tumor specimens limits the power of traditional studies of t

Although p53-gene mutations occur with significant frequency in diffuse low-grade and high-grade astrocytomas, and are postulated to play an important role in tumorigenesis in these cases, the role of the p53 gene in pilocytic astrocytomas remains unclear. Published data using DNA-based assays for p
Transgenic mice deficient for the p53 gene were reported to frequently develop angiosarcoma (AS), suggesting that alterations in the gene are associated with tumorigenesis of AS. However, little is known about genetic changes, including p53 gene alterations, in human AS because of its rarity. We ana
