1 OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of arsenic pollution caused by coal-burning on methylation (promoter and exon 5) and mutation (exon 5) of human p53 gene, and to analyze the relationship between methylation, mutation and arsenism. Arsenic tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSION: Arsenic pollution caused by coal-burning can cause the hypermethylation of p53 gene in promoter region, hypomethylation and mutation of p53 gene (exon 5), and the changes of methylation of p53 gene are related with its mutation and might be one of the important etiological factors of arsenic pathogenicity or carcinogenesis. Arsenic tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
