Abstract excerpt
P53 mutation, through defects in repairing DNA damages, is associated with genomic instability. In 24 adult patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the status of the p53 gene at different stages was serially followed by cytogenetic and polymerase-chain reaction/single strand co...
