P53 tumour suppressor gene and germ cell neoplasia.

Abstract excerpt

P53 tumour suppressor gene mutations occur in approximately 50% of common solid tumours such as breast, colon and lung. In contrast, p53 gene mutations occur infrequently (< 3%) in germ cell tumours, even though p53 protein is expressed at high levels in the vast majority of tumour samples. P53-regulated genes are not correspondingly over-expressed in germ cell tumour samples and cell lines, indicating that p53...
