Abstract excerpt
Mutations are the substrate of cancer. Yet, little is known about the degree and nature of mutations in tumors because measurement of mutation load in tumors and normal tissues was generally not possible until the advent of transgenic mouse mutation detection systems. Herein, we present the first analysis of mutation frequency and pattern in thymic tumors from a mouse model of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (p53+/- murine...
