چکیده

A mutational spectrum for exons 5-8 of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in colorectal carcinomas in Hong Kong Chinese was established. Ninety-nine colorectal carcinomas from Hong Kong patients were analyzed for mutations in p53 gene by PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct DNA sequencing. Thirty-five of the 99 tumors (35.4%) contained mutations. Point mutations accounted for 80% of all genetic changes and were predominantly base transitions at CpG dinucleotide sites, mutations that were also predominant in Caucasian carcinomas. The major hot spots at codons 175 and 248 of p53 in Caucasians are also hot spots in the Chinese gene. Identical mutations in codons 152 and 306 were detected in two independent tumors in the Chinese, which were reported only rarely in Caucasians. Moreover, a significantly higher frequency (20%) of deletion and insertion mutations was observed in Hong Kong colorectal cancer patients. Distinct genetic and/or environmental factors may contribute to these findings.

مقایسه شیوع جهش‌های ژنتیکی در ژن‌های APC و P53 در پولیپ‌های آدنومایی کولون از نوع دیسپلازی خفیف با نوع شدیدCorrelation of Mutations Prevalence in P53 and APC in Low Grade and High Grade Colonic Adenomatous Polyps

    Background & Aim: Colorectal polyps are among the commonest lesions encountered by surgical pathologist. In the United States, colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy are recommended for almost all people over the age of 40 years. The development of carcinoma from adenomatous lesions is referred to as the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Virtually, all colorectal carcinomas exhibit genetic altera...

Mutations of p53 Gene in Skin Cancers: a Case Control Study

Background: The most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene found in human cancer is p53. In a normal situation, p53 is activated upon the induction of DNA damage to either arrest the cell cycle or to induce apoptosis. However, when mutated, p53 is no longer able to properly accomplish these functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of p53 gene in cases of skin cancer...

p53 mutations in non-small cell lung carcinomas in Hong Kong.

Lung resections from 50 Chinese patients in Hong Kong diagnosed as having non-small cell lung carcinoma were examined for the presence of mutations in the p53 gene by polymerase chain reaction single-stranded conformation polymorphism methods and for aberrant protein expression by immunostaining techniques. Eight-point mutations in the evolutionarily conserved exon 5 through 8 regions were dete...

Lack of Mutation in the Hot Spot Region of the Human P53 Gene in a Number of Iranian Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients

  Objectives and Background: Mutation directed inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene p53 have been found incountries with high frequency for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Our goal in the present study was screening of the p53 gene in tumor tissues from HCC affected individuals in southwest Iran for putative mutations in exons 7 and 8 that are known as hot spot regions. Materials & Met...
