We have sought to determine the basis for preferential loss of the codon 72 proline (72P) rather than the arginine (72R) allele in squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in p53. The proportion of cases containing human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 was not statistically different among individuals with either 72RR or 72RP in the germ line (P > 0.99), but p53 LOH was significantly more...
