The p53 tumor suppressor gene has proven to be one of the genes most often mutated in human cancers. It involves mainly point mutations leading to amino acid substitutions in the central region of the protein which impairs normal functions. Analysis of the mutational events that target the p53 gene
## Abstract In a total of 26 primary human lung tumors and 60 metastases derived from them, exons 5β8 of the __p53__ tumor suppressor gene were analyzed by singleβstrand conformation polymorphism and subsequent direct DNA sequencing of amplified DNA. Mutational inactivation of the __p53__ gene was
