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

## Abstract In addition to the loss of function, mutant p53 can possess a dominantβnegative effect on wildβtype p53 and may also exert gainβofβfunction activity. It is not clear whether the functional status of __p53__ mutation contributes to differences in outcome in endometrial cancer. We collect
## Abstract Polymorphisms in phase I and phase II enzymes may enhance the occurrence of mutations at critical tumor suppressor genes, such as __p53__, and increase breast cancer risk by either increasing the activation or detoxification of carcinogens and/or endogenous estrogens. We analyzed polymo
## Abstract The aim of this study was to clarify whether specific p53 mutations may have biological relevance in terms of disease relapse or death in gastric carcinomas (GC). Resected specimens from a consecutive series of 62 patients with GC undergoing potentially curative surgery were prospective
The p53 tumor suppressor gene has proven to be one of the genes most often mutated in human cancers. It involves mainly point mutations leading to amino acid substitutions in the central region of the protein which impairs normal functions. Analysis of the mutational events that target the p53 gene
We investigated if the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the XRCC1, XRCC3, and XPD genes were associated with the type and frequency of p53 mutations in bladder cancer. Using a hospital-based case-control study we have previously reported risks for the XRCC1 codon 194, XRCC1 codo
