<i>p53</i>mutations in lung tumours: relationship to gender and lung DNA adduct levels
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Human lung cancer exhibits a high frequency of transversion mutations at G:C base pairs of the p53 gene, possibly the result of DNA damage by cigarette smoke constituents, most notably benzo[a]pyrene. We have investigated gender differences in the p53 mutational spectrum and levels of hydrophobic DNA adducts. Tumour tissue was obtained from 115 non-small cell lung cancer tumours and examined for mutational...
