Abstract excerpt
Few reports are available on mutations in the promoter of tumour suppressor genes like p16, WT1 and Rb in cancers. However, the involvement of p53 promoter in cancers is not clearly known. Further, methylation of CpG sites is a major contributor of mutations in several genes. So an attempt has been made to determine the mutation and methylation status of p53 promoter in breast tumours. Results have demonstrated...
