## Abstract Hepatoblastomas generally appear in children aged 2 or 3 years old and arise from apparently normal, noncirrhotic liver. To elucidate any possible role of p53 mutations in their genesis, we amplified and sequenced exons 5 to 8 of the p53 gene in 10 cases of hepatoblastoma. Somatic mutat

## Abstract Although carcinoma of the uterine endometrium is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy of the female reproductive tract, the molecular genetic features of this tumor have yet to be described in significant detail. Since mutations of the __p53__ tumor suppressor gene are the single mo
BACKGROUND. Specific mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been reported from several parts of the world, but to the authors' knowledge to date the status of this gene has not been studied in HCC patients in India, where HCC is one of the major cancers and
Environmental carcinogens often induce specific mutations in the p53 gene, apparent in tumors. The relation between aflatoxin B1(AFB1)-related hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and hot spot at codon 249 of the p53 gene has received a great deal of attention, but its significance is still controversia
Mutations in the p53 gene are associated with a wide variety of human malignancies. Point mutation in one allele and loss of the remaining one generally lead to inactivation of p53 protein. A high frequency of allelic losses corresponding to the I7p 13.3 region that contained the p53 gene sequence
