Abstract excerpt
The mean in vitro lifespan of dermal fibroblast strains derived from cancer-affected individuals belonging to families conforming to the classical Li-Fraumeni-syndrome or the Li-Fraumeni-like syndrome (LF strains), but in whom no TP53 mutation has been found, was not significantly different to that of normal strains. This was in contrast to LF strains that carry TP53 mutations. Cytogenetic observations of...
