Abstract excerpt
p53 is a tumor suppressor gene, located in the short arm of chromosome 17, which encodes for a nuclear protein involved in the control of cellular growth. Mutations in p53 gene are the most common genetic alterations in a several human cancers, including Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Howeve...
