Molecular epidemiology of p53 protein mutations in workers exposed to vinyl chloride.

Abstract excerpt

The production of mutations in cellular tumor suppressor genes such as p53 is involved in the development of many human cancers. These mutations result in the expression of mutant forms of the encoded p53 protein which can potentially serve as a biomarker for this carcinogenic process. Workers exposed to vinyl chloride who are at risk for the development of the sentinel neoplasm angiosarcoma of the liver...
