Estimation of mutation frequencies in normal mammalian cells and the development of cancer.

Abstract excerpt

A current controversy in cancer research is whether the rate of accumulation of mutations in normal somatic cells is sufficient to account for the number of mutations in malignant cells. This review will focus on the types of mutations that can occur in mammalian somatic cells and the frequency at which some of these mutations have been shown to occur in vivo. Human and mouse mutation detection systems will be...
