Inactivation of the wild-type p53 gene (TP53) by various genetic alterations is a major event in human tumorigenesis. More than 60% of human primary tumors exhibit a mutation in the p53 gene. Hematological malignancies present a rather low incidence of genetic alterations in this gene (10-20%). Neve

Approximately half of all colorectal cancers show p53 (TP53) gene mutations, with higher frequencies observed in distal colon and rectal tumors and lower frequencies in proximal tumors and those with the microsatellite instability or methylator phenotypes. Alterations to this gene appear to have lit
A detailed analysis of p53 (TP53) mutations involving the 42 CpG dinucleotides was performed to gain greater insight into the mutational mechanism leading to specific selection of these mutations. Although the majority of these CpG dinucleotides have been found to be mutated in cancer cells, the het
The p53 gene (TP53) is mutated in numerous human cancers. We have used it as a molecular target to characterize the induction of mutations in human skin cancers. About 50% of all skin cancers in normal individuals exhibit p53 mutations. This frequency rises to 90% in skin cancers of patients with th
