Abstract excerpt
Although the influence of p53 deficiency on somatic genetic stability is well established, its effect in the germline is poorly understood. Mutation rates at two expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) loci were studied in the germline of nonexposed and irradiated p53-deficient mice. Spontaneous mutation rates in the homozygous and heterozygous p53-deficient males did not significantly differ from that in the...
