Abstract excerpt
In order to determine the relevance of the p53 tumor suppressor gene mutations in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), we analyzed the p53 gene in genomic DNA of 18 unselected cases of AML by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and direct sequencing. We detected three cases (16.7%) with the p53 gene mutations showing only the mutant alleles; the high incidence in cases with...
