Mutation of the p53 gene is found in about one third of astrocytic brain tumors, and expansion of tumor cell clones containing mutant p53 has been implicated in astrocytic tumor progression. However, admixture of normal cells in astrocytic tumor specimens limits the power of traditional studies of t
The p53 mutational status of 226 representative primary breast cancer samples, derived from a population-based cohort, was analyzed using cDNA-based sequencing. The results were compared with those obtained with immunohistochemistry (IHC) on microwave-treated paraffin sections and the p53 specific l
The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is frequently mutated in human cancers. More than 75% of all mutations are missense substitutions that have been extensively analyzed in various yeast and human cell assays. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) TP53 database (www-p53.iarc.fr) compiles
