<i>p53</i> Mutations in sporadic adrenocortical tumors

Abstract excerpt

Non-familial human adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas were screened for mutations in exons 5-8 of the p53 tumor suppressor gene by single-strand-conformation-polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, followed by direct sequencing of PCR-amplified DNA. Point mutations in codons 12, 13 and 61 in H-ras, K-ras and N-ras proto-oncogenes were similarly assessed by direct DNA sequencing. Three out of 15 primary adrenocortical...
