PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, July 21 -- The University of Pennsylvania issued the following news:
Rare inherited mutations in the body's master regulator of the DNA repair system--the TP53 gene--can leave people at a higher risk of developing multiple types of cancer over the course of their lives. Now, for the first time, a team led by researchers in the Basser Center for BRCA at the Abramson Cancer Center details the potential implications of a lower risk TP53 mutation, including a . . .
