Post-thymic T cell lymphomas frequently overexpress p53 protein but infrequently exhibit p53 gene mutations.

Abstract excerpt

We recently demonstrated that only one of 36 T-cell neoplasms contained p53 gene mutations. Although p53 gene mutations are known to result in overexpression of the p53 gene product, we also recently discovered that p53 protein overexpression does not correlate with p53 gene mutations, but does correlate with proliferation (r = 0.92), in anaplastic large cell lymphoma. In view of these findings, we investigated...
