The cause of Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a rare group syndrome of familial cancers, has recently been identified. Patients with this inherited condition are highly susceptible to specific neoplasms, including early-onset breast cancers. The available evidence links Li-Fraumeni syndrome to inherited mutati
## Abstract Polymorphisms in phase I and phase II enzymes may enhance the occurrence of mutations at critical tumor suppressor genes, such as __p53__, and increase breast cancer risk by either increasing the activation or detoxification of carcinogens and/or endogenous estrogens. We analyzed polymo
A detailed analysis of p53 (TP53) mutations involving the 42 CpG dinucleotides was performed to gain greater insight into the mutational mechanism leading to specific selection of these mutations. Although the majority of these CpG dinucleotides have been found to be mutated in cancer cells, the het
## Abstract Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is overexpressed in a number of tumors, including breast cancer. Another marker of breast cancer tumorigenesis is the tumor suppressor gene __p53__ that is frequently mutated in breast cancer. In the present study, our aim was to find a correlation between FA
