Abstract excerpt
Molecular analysis of p53 and patched (PTCH), two candidate tumor suppressor genes for non-melanocytic skin cancer, was performed in skin tumors from six patients affected by the cancer-prone disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). UV-specific p53 mutations were detected at a frequency of 38-50% in a...
