Abstract excerpt
AIMS: p53 gene mutations are the most common genetic changes known to occur in human cancer. In previous studies, the presence of alterations to the p53 gene has been linked to the null phenotype of the glutathione S-transferase mu gene (GSTM1). GSTM1 appears to be part of a protective mechanism against the development of cancers in which environmental chemical carcinogens are involved. To screen for such an...
