Abstract excerpt
The human p53 tumor suppressor gene is located at the short arm of chromosome 17. A germinative mutation (Arg337His) in the tetramerization domain of p53 has been frequently identified in Brazilian children with sporadic adrenocortical tumors. Loss of heterozygosity at this region was demonstrated in the majority of the cases. In the present study, we performed deletion mapping of chromosome 17 in 30...
