Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal abnormalities have been assessed in p53-deficient mice. The in vivo frequency of spontaneous stable aberrations in bone marrow cells was elevated by approximately 20-fold in p53 nulls and 13-fold in p53 heterozygotes compared to wild-type. No excessive induction of stable aberrations by gamma-irradiation was observed, but p53 deficiency resulted in excess radiation-induced hyperploidy (> 10-fold...
