Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies support a link between melanoma risk and UV exposure early in life, yet the molecular targets of UV's mutagenic actions are not known. By using well characterized murine models of melanoma, we provide genetic and molecular evidence that identifies components of the Rb pathway as the principal targets of UV mutagenesis in murine melanoma development. In a melanoma model driven by H-RAS...
