Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the p53 gene have been found in a large proportion of human skin cancers. These mutations show the same characteristics as mutations induced by UV light in experimental systems. To establish correlations between formation of DNA adducts by a known carcinogen and incidence of mutations within a specific human gene, we have investigated the formation of UV-induced photoproducts along exons 5-9 of the...
