Abstract excerpt
A polymorphic pentanucleotide microsatellite sequence (TGYCC)n within the p53-inducible gene 3 (PIG3) promoter is correlated with the extent of transcriptional activation by p53 and thought to modulate susceptibility to cancer. Using a PCR-silver staining-based single-strand conformation assay, we visualized variant genotypes of the PIG3 promoter (TGYCC)n motif in a subset of 100 subjects for each of four ethnic...
