Abstract excerpt
We examined the association between mutation of the p53 gene and survival in a large cohort of breast cancer patients. Using a rapid, non-isotopic single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method we screened for mutations in exons 4-10 of the p53 gene in 375 primary breast cancers from patie...
