Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of tumor-specific mutational spectra in the p53 mutation database provides indirect evidence that implicates certain exogenous and possibly endogenous mutagenic events in human carcinogenesis. In some cases, the distribution of DNA damage along the p53 gene caused by environmental carcinogens can be correlated with the mutational spectra, i.e. hotspots and types of mutations of certain cancers,...
