Abstract excerpt
We have previously described 10 astrocytomas with accumulation of p53 protein but no mutations in p53 exons 5-8, and we have suggested that they might represent overexpression of wild type protein or mutations in less conserved regions of the gene. To investigate these possibilities further, we s...
