Abstract excerpt
Germline p53 mutations are frequently observed in the normal DNA of cancer-prone patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). Fibroblasts from LFS patients develop chromosomal aberrations, loss of cell cycle control, and spontaneous immortalization. We transfected four different mutant p53 genes into human skin fibroblasts from normal donors with two copies of wild-type p53 (p53(wt/wt)). Each mutant p53...
