We analysed p53 mutations in 24 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and overt acute myeloid leukaemia after a period of MDS, using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis. In exons 5 to 8, mobility shifts were detected in five of the 24 patients. Sequence analysis was subsequently performed, and four missense mutations (16.7%) and one silent nucleotide substitution were...
