Abstract excerpt
According to recent reports, some cancer types exhibit nonrandom allele loss at codon 72 in exon 4 of the p53 gene [coding for proline (72Pro) or arginine (72Arg)]. To clarify this phenomenon for colorectal cancer and to find out if this preferential loss might have any functional significance, p53 loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and p53 mutations were investigated in a group of 61 colorectal cancers and 28 liver...
