Abstract excerpt
The association between p53 immunohistochemistry and TP53 mutation status has been controversial. The present study aims to re-evaluate the efficacy of p53 immunohistochemistry to predict the mutational status of TP53. A total of 157 diffuse gliomas (World Health Organization grades II-IV) were assessed by exon-by-exon DNA sequencing from exon 4 through 10 of TP53 using frozen tissue samples. Immunohistochemistry...
