Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are frequent in lung cancers. It is suggested that p53 mutations are associated with smoking-induced lung carcinogenesis. We examined p53 mutations in 53 lung cancers by analyzing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (RT-PCR-SSCP) to ascertain the association between p53 mutations and smoking. Twenty-five (47%) of 53...
