Abstract

Objective: Detection of P53 gene mutation on its codon 248 between Iranian women with breast cancer by PCR-RFLP.
Material and methods: DNA extraction of tumor tissues was performed in 53 patients with primary breast cancer. Designing primer for the sub-studying codon was performed with NTIVector software and detection of codon 248 mutation was done by Msp I PCR_RFLP.
Results: The somatic mutations of P53 on codon 248 were observed in 11.3% (6 of 53) of our cases, in which 9.4% were heterozygote mutation and the rest were homozygote mutation. This ratio is the highest reported percentage in the world.
Conclusion: This perusal indicates genotyping of P53 gene on codon 248 is important for Iranian women with breast cancer risk factors.
