Mutation in which of the following tumour suppressor gene causes carcinoma?

A
p53
B
p51
C
Ro
D
All of the above
High-Yield Explanation
If the p53 gene is mutated, the protection offered by the p53 tumor suppressor protein against DNA damage (for example, ras oncogene mutation) is lost. If a cell becomes homozygous for the mutant allele, that is ‘loses heterozygosity’, cancer may develop. Ref: Shafer's textbook of oral pathology 7th edition page 108
