Abstract excerpt
A mutation in codon 249 of the TP53 gene (249(Ser)), related to aflatoxin B(1) exposure, has previously been associated with hepatocellular carcinoma risk. Using a novel internal standard plasmid, plasma concentrations of 249(Ser)-mutated DNA were quantified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in 89 hepatocellular carcinoma cases, 42 cirrhotic patients, and 131 nonliver diseased control subjects, all...
