Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germ-line p53 mutations appear to be inherited among the members of families diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). The mutations detected in those families to date have been clustered in exon 7 of the p53 gene and, typically, have been single-base substitutions resulting in amino acid changes. PURPOSE: Our aim was to define the spectrum of p53 mutations associated with LFS. METHODS: From seven...
