Abstract excerpt
Mutational hot spots in the human p53 gene are well established in tumors in the human population and are frequently negative prognosticators of the clinical outcome. We previously developed a mouse model of skin cancer with mutations in the xeroderma pigmentosum group C gene (Xpc). UVB radiation-induced skin cancer is significantly enhanced in these mice when they also carry a mutation in one copy of the Trp53...
