Brm is an ATPase subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodelling complex. Previously, we identified a novel hotspot mutation in Brm in human skin cancer, which is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). As SWI/SNF is involved in DNA repair, we investigated whether Brm-/- mice had enhanced photocarcinogenesis. P53+/- and Brm-/-p53+/- mice were also examined as the p53 tumor suppressor gene is mutated early...
