Serrated adenoma has been recently proposed as a distinct histological lesion of the colorectum. This study examined p53 immunoreactivity, mutations of exons 5-8 of the p53 gene, codon 12 of the Ki-ras gene by PCR-SSCP analyses, and microsatellite instability in 19 serrated adenomas, ten adenocarcin
The mutational spectrum for the TP53 gene was investigated in a large series of bladder tumors and bladder tumor cell lines. Tumors and cell lines were screened for the presence of TP53 point mutations by single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis followed by direct sequencing. Mutations wer
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
## Communicated by Albert de la Chapelle PTEN regulates cell homeostasis by inhibiting growth signals transduced through PI3kinases. The gene is mutated in several cancer types, but so far, only a limited number of mutations have been reported in colorectal cancer. In the present study, direct seq
