Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the relationship between genetic recombination mechanisms and loss of tumour suppressor genes in solid tumours. Here, we demonstrate deletion and truncation of both p53 alleles in a primary human glioblastoma and a derived cell line as the combined result of a t(17;20) recip...
