Extremely high rates of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SCCE) are observed in Iran, reflecting unknown, genetic and/or epidemiological risk factors. Among genetic alterations in SCCE, TP53 mutations are the most frequent, vary among populations, and may provide clues on etiological mechanisms. We have analysed mutations in TP53 (exons 5-8) in 98 SCCE from Iran by temporal temperature gel electrophoresis...
