The prognostic significance and nature of p53 dysfunction in ovarian carcinoma is unclear. The relation between p53 overexpression, p53 mutations, and their effects on overall survival in primary ovarian carcinoma is explored. ## METHODS. Tumor specimens from 171 consecutive epithelial ovarian ca

Human hepatocellular carcinomas from patients in Britain, an area of low prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma and low dietary exposure to aflatoxin B,, were analyzed for mutations in the p53 tumorsuppressor gene. Abnormalities in the pS3 gene were detected in 2 of 19 hepatocellular carcinomas by p
To clarify the clinical significance of the mutation of p53 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 90 resected specimens from Japanese patients were assayed using a polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCRSSCP) analysis. p53 mutations were detected in 25 cases (27.8%)
The insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene is regulated in a complex manner, involving developmentally regulated use of four different promoters as well as transcriptional repression of the maternal allele due to genomic imprinting. It has been well documented that liver is an exceptional organ in
## Abstract Fiftyβnine primary breast carcinomas and 11 metastases were examined to identify genetic alterations in the tumour suppressor gene regions 3p, 11p, 13q, 17p, and 17q. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was frequently observed on chromosome arms 17p (p144D6 lost in 75%, pYNZ22.1 in 55%, and __
## BACKGROUND. The 12 members of the MAGE gene family encode tumor specific antigens that are recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The MAGE genes are expressed not only in melanoma but in the other malignant tumors as well. There is, however, little information on their expressi
