Involvement of p53 gene mutations in human endometrial carcinomas.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the p53 gene are associated with a wide variety of human malignancies. Point mutation in one allele and loss of the remaining one generally lead to inactivation of p53 protein. A high frequency of allelic losses corresponding to the 17p13.3 region that contained the p53 gene sequence was also noted in human endometrial carcinoma. Thus, in order to confirm involvement of the p53 gene in endometrial...
