  • Title: [Tumour suppressor p53 gene sequence mutations in pleomorphic adenoma of salivary gland].
    Author: Wang J, Dong F, Yong P.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1999 Oct; 79(10):777-9. PubMed ID: 11715527.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To detect p53 exon 7 and 8 mutation and to study genesis and biological characteristics of pleomorphic adenoma of salivary galand. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction- single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing analysis were used. RESULTS: PCR-SSCP analysis showed that in 11 patients with positive SSCP, 7 showed abnormal exon 7 and 3 abnormal exon 8. Comparison of SSCP results with DNA sequencing showed that patients all patients with p53 exon 7 and 8 mutations were SSCP positive. Exon 7 mutation pattern was point mutation(T-->C). Exon 8 mutation pattern included base substitution (point mutation) (C-->A) and frame-shiftmutation (base insertion and base loss). CONCLUSIONS: Polycodon and poly-pattern mutations appeared in p53 exon 7 and 8. Pleomorphic adenoma of salivary galand was similar to malignant tumor in p53 gene mutation. Poly-codon mutation could occur in the same case.
