Mutational analysis of the pl6ICDKN2 gene was conducted by direct sequencing of the whole coding sequence (exom 1-3 and flanking splicing sites) in 21 esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas and 3 adenocarcinomas from a high-incidence area of Italy. Two inactivating mutations were found in exon I of the

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
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
