Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 gene are common in human ovarian carcinomas; however, their role in the early development of ovarian cancer is unclear. Twelve ovarian borderline tumors (BTs; eight of them p53 immunopositive) and 10 stage I carcinomas (four of them p53 immunopositive) were studied for genetic alterations in the p53 gene. The study was based on single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis and DNA...
