Mutations in the TP53 gene are considered to be among the most common genetic alterations in human cancers. Both somatic and germline mutations have been found. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). constant denaturant gel electrophoresis (CDGE), and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE),

✦ Synopsis
We have analyxed 29 neuroblastomas for TP53 mutations in exons 5 to 8 by means of the polymerase chain reaction in combination with the single-strand conformation polymorphism technique. We could not detect any mutation. These results indicate that, in contrast to the majority of tumors so far studied, TP53 mutations do not seem to be important for the development of neuroblastomas.

Abnormalities in the pS3 tumour suppressor gene and in the expression of its protein are common in colorectal carcinoma. The prognostic significance of these p53 abnormalities was studied in 66 patients with colorectal cancer, followed for more than 10 years. Single-strand conformation polymorphism
We examined the association between mutation of the p53 gene and survival in a large cohort of breast cancer patients. Using a rapid, non-isotopic single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method we screened for mutations in exons 4-10 of the p53 gene in 375 primary breast cancers from patients
## Abstract Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children below the age of 5 years. miR‐34a, located in chromosome band 1p36, has been recently implicated as a tumor suppressor gene in NB. In addition, it has been shown that miR‐34a is activated by __TP53__ by binding t
