Abstract excerpt
Our previous study has indicated that p53 gene mutation occurred in 73% of human functional adrenal tumors, and the mutation hot spots were focused on codons 100, 102 (exon 4), and 249 (exon 7). Furthermore, a transcriptional activity study revealed that the mutant p53 protein derived from human functional adrenal tumors lost 90% transcriptional activity and the ability to bind with the p53 sequence. In order to...
