Abstract excerpt
The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (RT-PCR-SSCP) analysis and sequencing were used to examine p53 gene alterations in 18 surgical specimens of primary lung cancers obtained in Japan. Somatic mutations resulting in amino acid changes were found in eight of the 18 cases (44%). Seven missense mutations were located in amino acid-conserved domains or their...
