Timing and role of p53 gene mutation in the recurrence of glioma.

Abstract excerpt

Recently a 17p deletion and p53 gene mutations were reported in human gliomas, but the relationship of the timing of p53 gene mutation and oncogenesis of glioma is still obscure. We examined eight pairs of primary and recurrent gliomas. Four of eight had a histological malignant transformation. In the group with malignant transformation, three out of four pairs had a mutation in the p53 gene only in recurrence....
