p53 mutation is a common genetic event in ovarian carcinoma.

Abstract excerpt

Using the single-strand conformational polymorphism technique, we have screened 66 malignant ovarian tumors for p53 mutation in exons 5 to 8. Thirty-four of the tumors demonstrated a single-strand conformational polymorphism band shift in this region of the gene, including 6 in exon 5, 7 in exon 6, 12 in exon 7, and 10 in exon 8 (one of the tumors showed a shift for exons 7 and 8). All of the single-strand...
