Abstract excerpt
Knockout mice with only one Trp53 allele (+/- genotype) are highly susceptible to radiation-induced cancers, possibly through numerical chromosome changes. Patients with the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, having heterozygous TP53 germline mutations (+/mut genotype), are also susceptible to spontaneous and radiogenic cancers. We have investigated the susceptibility of six Li-Fraumeni syndrome +/mut and six normal...
