Abstract excerpt
Normal sun-exposed skin contains numerous epidermal patches that stain positive for p53 protein (p53 immunopositive patches, PIPs), which are considered potential early precursors of skin cancer. Although the TP53 gene is mutated in many PIPs, it is unclear whether PIPs contain any other cancer-related mutations. Here we report that PIPs, predominantly <3,000 p53 immunopositive cells in size, within normal...
