Abstract excerpt
p53 gene aberrations are common in human malignancies, and recent studies suggest that in cervical carcinoma p53 function is inactivated either by complex formation with human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 product or by gene mutation. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), we examined the mutational status of the four 'hotspot' regions of the p53 gene in 47...
