Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Limited data are available regarding TP53 gene alterations in Barrett's esophagus. This study was undertaken to characterize TP53 mutations and p53 protein immunoreactivity in cancers and preinvasive lesions of Barrett's esophageal mucosa. METHODS: Seventeen Barrett's adenocarcinomas were examined by polymerase chain reaction amplification, denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis, and sequencing...
