Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Allelic losses [loss of heterozygosity (LOH)] at the 17p13 locus are frequent (85%) in adrenocortical cancers. The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is located at 17p13. The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of TP53 somatic inactivating mutations in adrenocortical tumors with 17p13 LOH and their clinico-biological correlations. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: TP53 somatic mutations, intragenic LOH (VNTR1...
