Abstract excerpt
Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction products (PCR-SSCP analysis) was used for detection of mutations of the p53 gene in surgical specimens of human brain tumors. Six of 45 brain tumors showed mobility shifts in the analyses. These six tumors also showed loss of a normal allele. The samples were examined further by direct sequencing. Results showed that four of them had...
