## Abstract We investigated the frequency of p53 mutations in 47 pediatric brain tumors of various histologic subtypes that were collected over a period of 5 years. The specimens included 15 primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), 17 low grade astrocytomas, one anaplastic astrocytoma, three gliob

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 53 oral squamous-cell carcinomas among Indians for the presence of alterations in the tumorsuppressor gene p53 by PCR-SSCP and sequencing methods. Our results showed that 21% (I 1/53) of oral carcinomas analyzed carried mutations within the exons 5-8 of the p53 gene. We h
