1 | Recent reports of a guanine to thymine mutation of the third base of codon 249 of the tumour suppressor gene, p53, in 50% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in regions of high aflatoxin exposure, and mutagenic experiments showing that aflatoxin B1 binds particularly to guanine residues in G-C-rich domains and that codon 249 is a preferred target have suggested a mechanism whereby aflatoxin might induce malignant transformation. | Aflatoxins | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
