Abstract excerpt
Two cases of ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated carcinoma or dysplasia and morphologically non-neoplastic mucosa with p53 protein overexpression (MNNM-p53OE) were selected. DNA was extracted from the paraffin blocks of these lesions and exons 5 - 8 of the p53 gene were analyzed by PCR and direct sequencing. In addition, mutations in K-ras codon 12 were analyzed by PCR-RFLP methods. MNNM-p53OE was located...
