Abstract excerpt
Transplant recipients successively develop benign, premalignant and malignant skin lesions on sun-exposed areas. It has been suggested that UV radiations might induce mutations in ras oncogenes and p53 tumour-suppressor gene, responsible for skin cancers. With PCR and oligoprobe hybridization, we investigated c-Ha-ras gene mutations at codons 12 and 61 in 120 cutaneous lesions from grafted patients, since they...
