Transgenic mice deficient for the p53 gene were reported to frequently develop angiosarcoma (AS), suggesting that alterations in the gene are associated with tumorigenesis of AS. However, little is known about genetic changes, including p53 gene alterations, in human AS because of its rarity. We ana

In this study, we analyzed 10 human squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) for alterations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene in exons 4 through 9 by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. We found that 2 of 10 SCCs displayed unusual SSCP alleles at exon 7 of the p53 gene. Subsequent clonin
## Abstract A variety of neoplasms of the human nervous system were analyzed for the presence of mutations in the __p53__ tumor suppressor gene. DNA was extracted from frozen or formalinβfixed, paraffinβembedded material. Singleβstrand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for exons 5β8 was fol
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) observed in human tumors strongly suggests the existence of (a) tumor-suppressor gene(s) at the concerned locus. A series of studies has revealed that LOH on the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q) frequently occurs in differentiated gastric adenocarcinomas. Furthermore, it ha
## Communicated by Albert de la Chapelle Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is a cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germline mutation of the gene encoding the tumour-suppressor E-cadherin (CDH1). We describe the search for CDH1 mutations in 36 new diffuse gastric cancer families. All 1
