Abstract excerpt
To determine the role of the p53 gene in the pathogenesis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), we screened mutations of the gene in 11 cases of BCCs using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP). However, in all the coding exons of the gene analysed, no evidence suggesting the mutations were obtained. On the other hand, in 2 of 5 informative cases of our BCCs (40%) we...
