Abstract excerpt
We are studying the p53 gene profile in primary glial tumors by seeking alterations in the hybridization pattern of the tumor DNA probed with a p53 gene probe. This report documents a rearranged p53 gene with loss of the normal allele in a low-grade mixed glioma which has not recurred during 4-year follow-up. The tumor had a low 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-labeling index and low AgNOR count. The p53 protein was...
