Abstract excerpt
p73 is one of the family proteins that share structural and functional homologies with the tumor suppressor p53. To analyze the status of p73 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the allelic loss, allelic expression, mutation and methylation status of the p73 gene were examined in 18 paired HCC and normal tissues. No allelic loss was found. All heterozygous individuals contained RNA of both alleles, indicating that...
