Abstract excerpt
The frequencies of mutations in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene and ras proto-oncogenes were investigated systematically in surgically resected oral squamous-cell carcinomas (SCCs) using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and/or dot-blot hybridization analysis of DNA fragments which had been amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). p53 gene mutations, within the region of exons 5 to 8, were...
