Abstract excerpt
Gene disruption from double-strand DNA breaks within introns is a mechanism of inactivating the tumor suppressor TP53. This occurs more frequently in osteosarcoma and biliary adenocarcinoma compared with other cancer types. The patterns of intron breakpoints within TP53 do not correlate with prevalence, intron length, or overall genome-wide levels of rearrangements. Therefore, these breakpoints appear to be...
