Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: TP53 mutations are the most frequent genetic alterations in colon cancer. We studied whether the recently developed oligonucleotide microarray technique, GeneChip p53 assay, can be applied to sensitive detection of TP53 gene mutations in surgical specimens from colon cancer patients. METHODS: TP53 gene mutations in exons 2-11 in 20 colon cancers and the corresponding histopathologically normal mucosa...
