PG - 61-3 AB - OBJECTIVE: To inquire about the relationship of p53 gene mutation to the histopathological findings and clinical manifestation in cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC). METHODS: The fresh samples from 60 cases of LSCC were examined. Polymerase chain reaction and silver staining-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA direct sequencing were used to detect the mutation of p53 gene in exons 5-8. RESULTS: The mutation rates were 69.2% and 85.3% in patients at clinical stage I-II and stage III-IV respectively (P>0.05). In the well-, moderately- and poorly-differentiated cell of LSCC, the mutation rates were 52.9%, 83.3% and 94.7% respectively (P<0.05). The p53 gene mutation rate of LSCC patients with neck lymph-node metastasis was 96.4%, whereas that of patients without neck lymph-node metastasis was 62.5% (P<0.05). Twenty samples showed positive results in SSCP; 19 samples showed deletion and mutation in codons 125-292 by DNA direct sequencing. CONCLUSION: The mutation of p53 gene in exons 5-8 was closely related to cell differentiation and the neck lymph-node metastasis of LSCC, but it was not related to the clinical stages of the LSCC cases.
