Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Two lines of evidence indirectly implicate the tumor suppressor p53 (also known as TP53) gene in glioma development. First, germline mutations of the p53 gene are associated with increased susceptibility to glioma. Second, chromosome 17p deletions and p53 gene mutations are found frequently in sporadic gliomas of all malignancy stages. These observations suggest that mutations of the p53 gene may be...
