Apoptosis in cancer cells is frequently inactivated by somatic mutations. The aim of the study was to see whether somatic mutations of BAX and BAK genes are characteristics of common human cancers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed somatic mutation of BAX and BAK genes in 47 gastric, 47 colorectal, 47 breast, 47 lung and 47 prostate carcinomas, and 47 acute leukemias by a polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism assay.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified BAX gene mutations in one colon (2.1%) and three gastric (6.4%) cancers.

There was no evidence of BAX mutation in the other cancers, nor was somatic mutation of the BAK gene detected in the cancers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
