title: WAF1/CIP1 structural abnormalities do not contribute to cell cycle deregulation in ovarian cancer.
abstract: Mutations in the WAF1/CIP1 gene were not found in 36 ovarian carcinomas, including tumours with loss of heterozygosity at the WAF1/CIP1 locus and/or lacking p53 mutations. In addition, no association was demonstrable between a polymorphism in a conserved region of the WAF1/CIP1 gene and ovarian carcinoma.
