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...
متن کاملGene assembling: a new approach in molecular diagnosis of hereditary breast cancer
Abstract Background: Many disease susceptibility genes are large and consist of many exons in which point mutations are scattered throughout. Scanning each exon individually represents a tedious task which can be time consuming and expensive. There has been increasing demand for rapid and accurate methods for full scanning of unknown point mutations in large multi-exon genes. Gene Assembling i...
متن کاملDetection of Mutations in Exons 5 and 8 of Tumor Suppressor Tp53 Gene in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Lung Hospitalized in Afzalipour Hospital, Kerman, Iran
Introduction: Despite improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in the past two decades, it has remained the most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Among all genes that are mutated in lung cancer, TP53 located on chromosome 17P13/1 has a significant diagnostic and prognostic value. TP53 mutations have been extensively studied in lung cancer and TP53 mutational spectr...
متن کاملMechanism of retinoblastoma gene inactivation in the spectrum of neuroendocrine lung tumors.
The retinoblastoma (RB) gene plays a key role in cell cycle control by regulation of G1 growth arrest. This gene is inactivated in some human cancers and in most small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell lines. The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanisms of RB silencing in freshly excised neuroendocrine (NE) tumors embracing the entire spectrum of NE lung neoplasms (typical and atypical car...

Objective(s) P53 is an important tumor suppressor, which is mutated in later stages of many cancers and leads to resistance to chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to reveal mutations of TP53 in colorectal cancer in Kerman province. Materials and Methods A total of Forty-three colon cancer specimens as paraffin block or fresh tissues, which passed stage IIIA, were selected. Three exons 5,...
