Abstract excerpt
Circulating free DNA (CFDNA) has been shown to be a good source of liver tissue-derived DNA in African and Asian patients with chronic liver disease or HCC. In Egypt, HCC is a frequent carcinoma and mostly occur in the context of chronic infection by HCV, a widespread infection in the Egyptian population. Here we have examined the presence of mutations in TP53 at codon 249 (Ser-249, considered as a hallmark of...
