p53 Regulation and Function in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

Loss of p53 function is a critical event in tumor evolution. This occurs through a range of molecular events, typically a missense p53 mutation followed by loss of heterozygosity. In many cancers, there is compelling evidence that cells that can compromise p53 function have a selective advantage. The situation in renal cell carcinoma is unclear. It has recently been suggested that p53 function is unusually...
