AbstractThe frequency and nature of genetic alterations in the p16 tumor suppressor gene in 25 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma specimens from Chinese patients were investigated by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing techniques. No gross deletions occurred in either exon 1 and 2 of the gene by PCR amplification. However, genetic changes were observed in three cases. These included a point mutation in codon 12 of exon 1 with a resulting Ala → Thr amino acid substitution, a point mutation at base 91 in the non-coding region of exon 1, and a 1 base pair insertion in codon 116 of exon 2. The low mutation frequency of 12% is consistent with that of three previous studies involving Japanese and Caucasian patients (8, 16 and 21% frequency). p16 gene mutations do not appear to play a major role in esophageal carcinogenesis.
