As the occurrence of structural p53 mutations in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Thailand was previously reported to be much lower than that found in other high-incidence HCC areas, we analyzed 16 HCC samples from Thailand to determine the expression and functionality of p53 protein. We observed the overexpression of p53 protein in 69% of HCC, despite the prevalence of the wild-type p53 gene. However, the...
