1 INTRODUCTION: The most frequent mutation in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in populations exposed to a high dietary intake of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mutation in codon 249 of the p53 gene. Aflatoxin B1 tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 INTRODUCTION: The most frequent mutation in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in populations exposed to a high dietary intake of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mutation in codon 249 of the p53 gene. Aflatoxin B1 tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
3 We hypothesized that the combination of schistosomiasis and aflatoxin B1 increases the incidence of p53 gene mutation. Aflatoxin B1 tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: These data suggest that schistosomiasis and exposure to aflatoxin B1 act synergistically to increase the incidence of p53 gene mutation. Aflatoxin B1 tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
