Abstract excerpt
We have investigated a series of ovarian tumours for evidence of mutations in the p53 tumour suppressor gene. In this study we have made use of the chemical mismatch cleavage technique which, from analyses of other genes, has been shown to consistently identify all point mutations present within a region of DNA. This approach revealed mutations of p53 in 11/20 tumours studied, mainly in exons 5 or 7. After...
