Abstract excerpt
TP53 mutations are observed in about 40-70% of lung cancer tissues, and the hot spot codon mutations are in exons 5 through 8. Previous studies revealed that the distinct TP53 mutational pattern between population groups may be due to different racial or exogenous factors. This research aims to identify risk factors that influence TP53 gene mutation in lung cancer patients residing areas with high lung cancer...
