Abstract excerpt
We looked for mutations of exons 5 to 8 of the P53 gene in 10 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 17p monosomy, and 36 patients with AML and no cytogenetic abnormalities of 17p. DNA was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction, single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis, and nucleotide sequencing. Four of the 10 patients with 17p monosomy showed point mutation, single-nucleotide deletion, or...
