Abstract excerpt
The p53 gene has been shown to be commonly mutated in various human cancers, and mutant p53 can act as a dominant oncogene. The intact p53 protein is also known to induce the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21WAF1/CIP1 and is implicated in cell cycle arrest. We investigated p53 gene alterations in gastric adenocarcinoma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to elucidate the association of the nuclear...
