Reports of cases of flat-type colorectal tumors are increasing in Japan, but almost nothing has been elucidated about the genetic abnormalities of these tumors. In this study, we have examined p53 mutations in six cases of colon cancer cell lines, 22 cases of flat-type colorectal tumors, and 27 cases of polypoid-type colorectal tumors using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE); the latter has recently been developed as a screening method for gene mutations. p53 mutations were observed in four colon cancer cell lines, six flat-type colorectal tumors, and three polypoid-type colorectal tumors, all of which were analyzed by direct sequencing. These mutations were observed only in adenomas with high-grade dysplasia and in colorectal cancers but not in adenomas with low-grade dysplasia. These observations suggest that p53 gene mutations are involved in flat-type as well as polypoid-type colorectal tumors at relatively later stages of carcinogenesis and that TGGE seems to be useful as one of the rapid screening methods.
