Abstract excerpt
Analysis of families with germline p53 mutations shows that the mutant p53 allele behaves as a dominant oncogene at the genetic level, although it behaves as a recessive oncogene at the cellular level, since tumours invariably show mutation or loss of both wild-type alleles. At the biochemical le...
