Abstract excerpt
A discordance between p53 protein overexpression and the presence of mutations in the gene has been observed in many types of tumors, including human lymphomas. To probe this finding, we have studied a large series of 94 lymphomas of different pathologic types and histologic differentiation. Analyzing exons 5-9, we have found mutations in the p53 gene in 7 of 94 cases distributed in different subtypes: 4/12 (33%)...
