## Abstract Leiomyomas are the most common gynecologic tumors in women, but very little is known about their molecular pathology. We used singleβstranded conformational polymorphism/heteroduplex analysis to analyze 42 unselected uterine leiomyomas for somatic mutations in all coding exons of the ge
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
Colorectal adenomas are macroscopically visible morphological changes of the mucosa that can develop focal carcinoma in the absence of surgical intervention. The successive molecular changes proposed to occur at different stages in the adenomacarcinoma sequence were primarily based on DNA studies of
## Abstract ## Background Whereas in sporadic human malignancies mutations of the __TP53__ tumorβsuppressor gene occur in cancers of almost every organ and histologic subtype, patients with an inborn __TP53__ defect are at high risk to develop, in particular, soft tissue and bone sarcomas, brain t
In conclusion, PTEN contributes in maintaining normal cell homeostasis, and the numerous alterations found in several sporadic tumor types emphasize the significance of this tumor suppressor gene. Somatic PTEN mutations appear to play an important role in the development of a subgroup of sporadic co
