Abstract excerpt
The p53 codon 270 CGT to TGT mutation was investigated as a biomarker of sunlight-induced mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. The relationship between tumor development and abundance of this hotspot mutation was analyzed in mouse skin tumors induced by chronic exposure to simulated solar light (SSL). The 24 tumors analyzed had similar growth kinetics, with an average doubling time of approximately 16.4 d. Levels of...
