Objective: To investigate the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene DNA sequence change and their relationship with the phenotype of human osteosarcoma. Methods: p21WAF1 /CIP1gene DNA of 36 osteosarcoma spec- imens was examined by using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR- SSCP) method. The PCR products were sequenced directly. Results: In p21WAF1 /CIP1 gene exon3 of 36 cases of human osteosarcoma, the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 17 cases with the incidence being 44.4%. In 10 normal blood samples, DNA sequence analysis showed the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 8 cases with the incidence being 80%. Conclusion: The novel location of p21WAF1 /CIP1gene polymorphism of osteosarcoma, but not mutation was de?ned, and this location might provide the meaningful reference for the further research of p21WAF1/CIP1 gene.p2lWAF1/CIP1基因DNA序列分析及其与骨肉瘤表型的关系
