Abstract excerpt
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate genetic changes of the TP53 (tumor protein p53) and FHIT (fragile histidine triad) genes in precursor lesion such as chronic esophagitis (CE) and in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: PCR-Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and DNA sequencing in 30 CE and 10 ESCC specimens were performed. RESULTS: DNA sequencing...
