Abstract excerpt
Associations between germinal and somatic mutations at autosomal loci play an important role in the development of some tumors, including retinoblastoma. In an attempt to determine whether equivalent events occur in vivo at other loci, we cloned and enumerated somatic T-cells with mutations at the aprt locus, by taking advantage of both the presence of a human disease caused by genetic defects at this locus and...
