Objective To explore the relationship between p53 mutation in 5-8 exons and type of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) pathogenesis of Han nationality women. Methods From August 2011 to December 2012, 45 patients with primary EOC (Han nationality women from Sichuan Province) diagnosed surgically and pathologically were selected. Using direct DNA sequencing, we analyzed the mutations of p53 in 5-8 exons of all cases, and the EOC patients were divided into two types according dualism and the pathogenesis results. The p53 mutation of the different types in EOC patients were analyzed. Results The frequency and efficiency of p53 mutation in type-ⅡEOC patients were significantly higher than that in typeⅠ(P < 0.01). And the codon 175 might be a mutational hotspot of type-ⅡEOC. The malignant degree and oviduct involved frequency of type-ⅡEOC were obviously higher than that of type-I EOC; p53 mutation frequency in high malignant patients increased significantly. Conclusions p53 mutation plays an important role in the development of type-ⅡEOC. The codon 175 might be a mutational hotspot of type-ⅡEOC.
