Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid from 17 primary human testicular seminomas was screened for the presence of mutations in exons 5 to 8 of gene p53, using the single strand conformation polymorphism assay, followed by direct deoxyribonucleic acid sequencing. The p53 mutations in 1 allele leading to an amino acid change but a normal (wild-type) sequence in the remaining allele were identified in 4 of 17 seminomas (23.5%). Sites of mutations were in exon 5 (codon 141), exon 7 (codon 238, codon 258) and exon 8 (codon 270). The present study suggested that mutation of the p53 gene is involved in the development of human testicular seminoma as in the case of several other types of human cancers.
