title: Novel canine tumour suppressor gene p53 mutations in cases of skin and mammary neoplasms.
abstract: Exons 4 to 8 of the tumour suppressor gene p53 were analysed in 25 skin and 25 mammary tumours of 50 dogs. A 1 bp deletion (ACC-->AC) was detected in codon 89 in exon 4 in a squamous cell carcinoma. A missense mutation CGC-->CAC (arginine-->histidine) was present in codon 162 in exon 5 in a mammary adenocarcinoma. Moreover, a silent mutation occurred in codon 103 (serine) of exon 4 in a mammary adenoma. The somatic nature of the three mutations was demonstrated.
