Abstract excerpt
We have studied alterations of the p53 gene in 27 patients with malignant gliomas. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was investigated by microsatellite analysis in 23 patients (22 informative) and detected in nine. Exons 5 through 9 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in these nine patients: alterations were found in five cases (three missense mutations, one non-sense mutation, and one putative...
