We investigated a series of 21 sporadic paraffin-embedded hepatoblastoma cases for mutations in the p53 (exons 5-8) and beta-catenin (exon 3) genes, loss of heterozygosity at APC, microsatellite instability and immunohistochemical expression of beta-catenin and of the two main mismatch repair proteins, MLH1 and MSH2.
