The relative mRNA expression of p53 isoforms in breast cancer is associated with clinical features and outcome
11 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Mutation of p53 is a common feature of cancer. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy that develops in women; however, somatic mutation of p53 is rare, suggesting that p53 becomes inactivated by other mechanisms. p53 is expressed as smaller isoforms, some of which inhibit wild-type p53. There are no studies that have examined the relative expression of all isoforms in this disease. We have analysed the...
