Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous reports indicate that the p53 yeast functional assay is a highly sensitive method of detection of p53 mutations in clinical specimens. Our earlier report (1) showed a 35.4% p53 mutation frequency in Hong Kong colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients, when conventional molecular screening techniques were utilized to assess the mutation rate in the hot spots in exons 5-8. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The...
