Abstract excerpt
Genetic risk factor(s) for skin cancers have been described in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). The tumor suppressor gene, p53, is one of the most frequently mutated genes found in human tumors. To evaluate the role of XP-related genetic defects in the p53 gene, skin fibroblast cell lines derived from XP donors were analysed for mutations in exons 5-9 (the regions of gene highly susceptible for...
