2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 03/01/2004 - "Exons 5 to 8 of the gene were amplified in 16 plutonium-, 23 neptunium- and 15 radon-induced lung tumors, and their polymerase chain reaction products were examined for mutations by single strand conformational polymorphism analysis and direct sequencing method. " 03/01/2004 - "The tumor suppressor gene Tp53 was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-amplification of genomic DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue sections of rat lung tumors to compare mutations that occurred after inhalation exposures to plutonium dioxide, neptunium dioxide, or radon and radon progenies. " 03/01/2004 - "Two point mutations were detected in the plutonium-induced tumors, i.e., a guanine to adenine transition at codon 219 of exon 6 and a cytosine to thymine transition at codon 266 of exon 8. Although only one point mutation was found at codon 175 of exon 5 (cytosine to thymine transition) from neptunium-induced tumors, no mutations were detectable from radon-induced tumors. "
