Abstract excerpt
DNAs from ninety seven primary breast carcinoma biopsies have been examined for loss of sequences on 17p13. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis has been carried out on the majority of these cases to determine whether p53 gene expression can be detected. Detection of p53 expression is taken to indicate mutation of p53 leading to stabilisation of the protein and thus detectable levels of p53 in the cell. In...
