Infrequent p53 mutations in patients with areca quid chewing‐associated oral squamous cell carcinomas in Taiwan
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the conserved regions (exons 5-9) of the p53 gene were investigated in 37 untreated human primary oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism and DNA sequencing analyses. P53 mutations were detected in 2 of 37 (5.4%) oral SCC cases. One tumor sample (case 23) showed a mis-sense point mutation at codon 177, changing CCC to CTC, which...
