Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the WRN or the TP53 genes lead to spontaneous genetic instability, an elevated risk of tumor formation, and sensitivity to compounds that interfere with DNA replication, such as camptothecin and DNA interstrand cross-linking drugs. We investigated the hypothesis that WRN and TP53 are involved in cellular responses to DNA replication-blocking lesions by exposing WRN deficient and TP53 mutant...
