Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently published data showed discrepancies between P53 cDNA and DNA sequencing in glioblastomas. We hypothesised that similar discrepancies may be observed in other human cancers. METHODS: To this end, we analyzed 23 colorectal cancers for P53 mutations and gene expression using both DNA and cDNA sequencing, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: We found P53 gene mutations in 16 cases (15...
