A variety of neoplasms of the human nervous system were analyzed for the presence of mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. DNA was extracted from frozen or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material. Single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for exons 5-8 was followed by direct DNA sequencing.
