## Abstract We set out to determine the relative timing of loss of DNA mismatch repair and __KRAS2__ mutation in endometrial tumorigenesis. We studied endometrial carcinoma (CA) and synchronous atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH), the premalignant precursor of endometrial cancer. Carcinoma and h
XPA-deficient mice have a complete deficiency in nucleotide excision repair, and as such they display a cancer predisposition after exposure to several carcinogens. Besides being sensitive to genotoxic agents applied to the skin, they are also susceptible to human carcinogens given orally, like benz
