## Abstract p53 alterations are considered the most common genetic events in many types of neoplasms, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). These alterations include mutations of the gene and/or overexpression of the protein. The aim of our study was to assess whether in 160 patients undergoing res
Mutations in the p53 tumour-suppressor gene (exons 5-8) were investigated in 31 Belarussian childhood thyroid tumours (24 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma, 3 benign tumours and 2 cases each of thyroiditis and goiter); 33 thyroid tumours from juveniles and adults without radiation exposures (25 c
The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is frequently mutated in human cancers. More than 75% of all mutations are missense substitutions that have been extensively analyzed in various yeast and human cell assays. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) TP53 database (www-p53.iarc.fr) compiles
We screened 29 human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESC) cell lines for mutations of the p53 gene through all coding exons and exon-intron junctions. Mutations were found in 22 cell lines (76%), consisting of 20 single-base substitutions, 2 small deletions and I single-base insertion. Out of 20
## BACKGROUND. Although several studies have been conducted to examine the role of p53 genetic abnormalities and their prognostic value in colorectal carcinoma, the incidence of nuclear accumulation of p53 and the prognostic importance of nuclear accumulation of p53 in African-American and white p
