Abstract excerpt
Sun-exposed skin of Caucasians harbors thousands of p53-mutated clones, which are clinically invisible. Using whole mount immunostaining for p53 or Ki67 antigens, p53 sequencing, and loss of heterozygosity analysis, we have further characterised these clones. Loss of heterozygosity for the alleles examined is uncommon with the exception of 9q, which occurred in 28.3% of the samples. P53 clones are more common and...
