Abstract excerpt
In this study, we focused on p53 mutations in specific regions, including DNA-binding surface regions, to clarify the correlation between mutations within the specific regions of p53 and clinical outcomes of patients with oral cancers. We analyzed p53 mutations in 121 fresh primary oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism or a yeast functional...
